But I truly love the Navitiy Story.....I love telling the girls about the beautiful little baby and the star that shone bright in the sky and the angels.....Yes Christmas is about recieving and giving gifts, the magic of santa claus (and in our house the christmas fairies and elevs) but I think its sooooo important for our family to think about Jesus Christ being born in a manager !!!!!!!!!!
