The Meaning of Christmas..by my children

I haven't had a lot of bookings this year for the holidays..and it's got me really down in the dumps as far as wishing I had more money to provide my kids with the one thing they have each asked for...and sadly I can't...however happily my kids are so understanding and amazing I know they will be thankful for whatever we can get them and being so down in the dumps about it when they are just so excited for as they said this morning baking cookies and making ornaments like last year that I feel horrible for being so focused on something material even if I am focused on it just because I want to spoil my prefect babies...I am thankful for my children for reminding me who I am and how I raised them. 

So this morning when they reminded me I decided to get out of the dumps,

and make this the most memorable and fun and love filled Christmas they have ever had.

I asked them what Christmas means to them.

Here are their answers...you know what they say...out of the Mouths of babes..

Cherry- Kindness, Happy Feelings, Seeing Santa, Hot coco, cookies and family movie day. 

Jaydon- Santa, decorating the tree together, cookies, coco.

Mack- Santa, Snow and coco.

Emmit- Snowmen.

And Gracie is too young to answer but I have a feeling if she could she wouldn't say anything about presents under the tree either...

Because the real presents are each other.

And the real Meaning of Christmas is LOVE.

Christmas is a time to show those in your life that matter just how much you love them.

Not by how expensive of a gift you buy them or how many gifts you give.

But by the thoughts you think of them, the time you spend with them..

The Love you share with them as you make memories.

As you have a family snowball fight,

As you make ornaments with your children.

As you cook for hours to make the prefect meal you will eat together.

As you read your children a bed time story and tuck them in on Christmas eve..

And as any parent knows getting Joy out of watching your Children open their presents..

Because half the time they love the boxes and wrapping paper more than the gifts lol.

So I am one pretty Proud Mommy this morning because my Children reminded me...

Of the true Spirit and Meaning of Christmas.

To Love one another and be together.
