It is good to show people that we care about them by giving them stuff, but it can definitely cloud the fact that we're celebrating Jesus' birthday. At our house we have tried to teach our kids that its not about getting stuff (although we are very thankful for the loving gifts we receiveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13902709.post-84110725698320685712006-12-25T23:51:00.000-06:002006-12-25T23:51:00.000-06:00Honestly i couldnt care less about presents.
