Christmas was wonderful! I was reminded the Real meaning of Christmas. Sar was so excited about her new mp3 player. But not sooo excited that she forgot the meaning of Christmas. In my hubbub of cleaning up after lunch and with my ears half in and out of listening she and I had the following conversation.
S - Mom, I think I could almost spend my whole day listening to my Mp3 player.
M - You really could if you wanted to. That is what Christmas day is all about.
S - (so matter of fact and really sincere) No. That's not what Christmas is all about.
M - What is it about? (I'm thinking about her gifts and her wanting to enjoying them all Christmas day).
S- It's about Jesus.
M - (I stop and look up from cleaning) Yes. (pause) You are right. Christmas is about Jesus.
Thank you for being so forthright. Christmas is about Jesus.
