Our Christmas is spread out between two days. On Christmas Eve the Pagel side comes to our house and we do our family Christmas with theirs. Then on Christmas morning we open stockings then head to the Cohans then head to the Mikesells.
We use Christmas to celebrate Jesus' birthday. On Christmas eve we include a cake and everything. On Christmas morning we open the best gift that's ever been given.....
Our Manger sits empty all season long.
Until we open Baby Jesus on Christmas Day!
It is his birth we celebrate on this Holy Day. It is on this day we add him to the stable!
