The Reason for the Season

I have been finding myself very stressed/anxious/overwhelmed lately with the holidays quickly approaching and not feeling ready. I have been working a lot lately (yes can you believe it!) and therefore shopping has been delayed, plus I find it very hard to buy for Michael. He would like to disagree, but he is very hard to buy for. But anyway I have been trying to remind myself to not get overwhelmed and really take in the Reason for the Season. My kids have really taken a liking to Baby Jesus and love playing with their nativity set and go crazy whenever they see one anywhere! I love this fact and love that some of the things we do for them are sinking in! Well today my dad sent me some pictures of the kids playing at their house today while I was working and it just melted my heart and reminded me to not forget the real gift this season, Jesus! It may take a 2 & 4 year old to remind me, but I am so glad they did! If you are feeling like I am during the hectic times, I hope this helps remind you too!
Here they are getting their "robes" on to be the Wise Men.....
