Christmas morning the babies found a gift from God under our tree. They read all their names on the tag and opened it to find baby Jesus inside.
I know, kind of corny, but it’s my little way of putting the focus on why we have Christmas. We all love presents of course, but the fact I’m sure none of you are unaware of, there’s so much emphasis on that aspect of this Holy Day so we hold off on the gifts a bit and bring them out after we’ve read the Christmas story from Luke and sung a Christmas hymn.
We also do this because we like to see the babies squirm in anticipation and we love hearing “when are we gonna open presents” 50,000 times.
