Everything is Christmas tree. It is Christmas tree music. Christmas tree presents. Christmas tree lights. Dawit and Israel are in awe and a little confused as we actually brought a tree inside the house and put lights on it and then put fun toys and candy(candy canes) on it. They are loving it all. They love to talk about Jesus' Birthday and about baby Jesus. They know who Mary and Joseph are and especially love to play with the camels in our nativity sets.
Our older children are fun to watch and listen to as they explain what Christmas is and how things work in the James House during this season. It is probably one of my favorite parts right now.
New to our December traditions is a birthday. Not one but two. Israel and Dawit turn 4 tomorrow and we are all excited to celebrate with them. In fact we are taking the older kiddos out of school at lunch time because our evening is so crazy. We have not heard any arguing about that. Shocking!! :)
Merry Christmas to you all!!! I hope and pray that you are taking time to enjoy the simple things like the sweetness of a candy cane, the beauty of the twinkling lights, the joyful giggles of children, and the truth and hope of a little baby born in a stable who came to set us all free.
