Top ten reasons I love Christmas.10. Mom asking Aubree to sing "Oh how lovely was the morning" when she gave the painting of the sacred grove to Mom for Christmas.
9. Ornaments were not broken by balls being thrown into the tree.
8. Kids go to bed at 3:00PM on Christmas Eve so that Santa can come.
7. No sales calls on Christmas.
6. Christmas music on cable 24/7.
5. Santa claus has 8 items to eat on Christmas eve because all of the kids want to leave something. Even the teenagers who thought it was funny that Santa would need to eat all of it.
4. Raindeer food that Brenen wanted to spread all over the patio. When Santa needed to get rid of the raindeer food it was cold and raining so sweeping away the evidence was a long painstaking task.
3. All the plates of goodies that are left by friends. It becomes dinner. (No cooking for mom) Kids have had cookies, candy, cake, and hot chocolate for dinner the last couple of weeks.
2. Making gifts for friends and having kids deliver them in their PJ shorts, t-shirts, and no shoes when it is 30 degrees outside. (bad mom)
1. Kids go to bed at 3:00 PM on Christmas Eve so that Santa can come. (Did I already say that? Well it is a good one)
But the real reason we love Christmas is being reminded of the Saviors birth. How grateful we are for his life and sacrifice he made for us. We love him and love to celebrate the great gifts he has given us.
