The season is upon us! This year, my family is trying to stick to the reason for the season and not so much gifts and presents. Some of this has to do with financial restraints, but also because the reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of our Lord.
This is easier said than done most times. Especially with three small kids at home. We have explained to them that this year there will not be as many presents and we are concentrating on Jesus' birth more. They understand and are excited about it, too. But, we still want to give them a few gifts.
Be safe out there Friday if you decide to go into that madness. But, remember while you're out there that the reason for Christmas is not to fatten the wallets of the department stores, but to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
God Bless!
