Christmas Morning. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and enjoy birthday cake for breakfast.
After breakfast we sit around the fire as Phillip reads our Christmas Day reading from our advent book. This year it was Bartholemew's Passage by Arnold Ytreeide. First we light our advent candles and Phillip lights the Christ candle that is white and represents the purity of Christ in His sinless nature that brings us the promise of salvation to all who surrender to Him as Lord and Savior.
We follow our advent reading by reading the story of the birth of Jesus in Luke Ch. 2
The kids enjoy the fire as we listen to the Christmas Story.
After our devotional time we open up our stockings. Chocolate Oranges are a Christmas treat in every stocking.
We love listening to Christmas Music as we open our gifts. Here Phillip and I stop for a quick dance.
Seeing the joy on their faces definitely proves the adage it is more blessed to give than to receive. If we who are sinful love to bless our children with good gifts how much more does our loving God love to care for us.
We enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing at home until we went to dinner at my Sister-in-law. We ate, played games and just generally enjoyed each other's company.
Merry Christmas!
