pretty.<\/p>\n<p>We have several family traditions and I get just as excited about them as my kids do.\u00a0 My sweet clone, Lilly Katherine has said about 100 times in 100 different ways, &#8220;Mama, this really is the best holiday.\u00a0 I sure do love Christmas time!\u00a0 This IS the most wonderful time of the year!&#8221;\u00a0 She&#8217;s my girl, and I love it!<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t do all of these every year, but we do as many as we possibly can.\u00a0 It is VERY important to us that we teach our children the REAL meaning of Christmas.\u00a0 Did you know that it&#8217;s not about Santa and his reindeer?\u00a0 Christmas is the celebration of our Savior&#8217;s birth!<\/p>\n<p>Our traditions&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Last year my kids (inspired by my then 3-year old nephew, Caleb) learned Luke 2: 8-14.\u00a0 It was so precious to hear them say this passage.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s a video from last Christmas of Lilly Katherine saying it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"224\" height=\"400\"

try to do Operation Christmas Child (on the years that I make it before the deadline.\u00a0 That deadline is too early for procrastinators like myself)\u00a0 This year, we&#8217;re not shopping due to the fact that it&#8217;s so hard on my body, so we&#8217;re just making blankets for The Children&#8217;s Advocacy Center.\u00a0 It&#8217;s important to me that they do things for other people to realize Christmas is about GIVING!<\/li>\n<li>Of course, we decorate our tree.\u00a0 They&#8217;re at such a fun age.\u00a0 Most of the ornaments are on the bottom half of the tree, and they love to look at each ornament.\u00a0 I give them a new ornament every year that says something about them, their likes, hobbies, etc for the year.\u00a0 Our tree is not going to win any decorator&#8217;s
