Every night before Jozy goes to bed, it is storytime. John usually gets by with reading her a book or 2, but i on the other hand have to tell her a makeup story. She usually gives me an idea on what she wants the story to be about, and then i have to use my imagination for the rest:) The other night Jozy wanted her makeup story to be about a little birdie named Chirpie who didn't know about Christmas. Being creative as I could i talked about Chirpie going to School one day where his friends and his teacher each took a turn to tell him about Christmas. They talked about all the normal things, like Jesus, the stable and the manger, Mary and Joseph, Santa, Presents, Spending time w/ family and etc. Jozy loved the story and had smiles all the way thru. The next morning as I was getting her ready for School she said, "Mommy, Christmas is really all about Giving to Others." Wow i couldn't believe it, I was like now if only i could get her to remember that the next time we go to the store when she is begging for anything and everything in sight.
But seriously she is right, Christmas is really all about giving to others and being thankful for all that one has. We have soo much to be thankful for not only this Christmas season but each and every day. We have the best family and friends and we thank you all for that. We hope that this Christmas season you remember what Christmas is all about and that you enjoy every minute of the time you have with all of your loved ones, as we will:)
Merry Christmas To All!!!!
