As we all start to begin our Christmas celebrations, I'd like to send my warmest wishes.
It's so easy to loose sight in the real meaning of Christmas ... why we stop work and celebrate this momentous time of the year.
This year, now that Eli is a little bit older I've been telling him the story of a special baby who was born on the 25th December thousands of years ago. I've explained to him for us, the significance of this child is the true meaning of Christmas. It's not about what gifts you get or don't get, it's about celebrating the birth of Jesus, spending time with family, being grateful and appreciating what you have been blessed with. I've told him that although he may get lots of gifts, Christmas reminds us of the important to share, give and be kind to one another.
I know I can't expect him to understand everything, but we can build on it in the years to come.
Like every year, Christmas Eve will be spent with my family and once 12am hits we open presents. Christmas Day we will attend church for their quick one hour service, then lunch at my brother in law's family home. I can't wait to see my family, enjoy each other's company and eat a lot of food!
What's Christmas tradition do you guys do at Christmas? How do spend this time of the year at your home?
From me, Gen-Y Mum (aka Camielle) wishing you and your family a merry and safe Christmas. God bless.
