The True Meaning of Christmas

This afternoon, while dressed up in purple fairy wings, Annabelle said the following to me:

"Mommy, I have good news for you. You are have a baby. And you will name him Jesus."

(Pause).

"You are Mary."

I guess maybe she is starting to understand the true meaning of Christmas! I was getting a little worried after all the presents she received from family this Christmas. Unfortunately, the emphasis of Christmas has become the quantity of presents instead of the true meaning.

For those parenting young children during this era, we have a long battle ahead to teach our children that "things" are not important at all.
