Our Christmas Tradition

The most significant tradition we have started in our family is the three gifts. It keeps Christmas morning simple and helps us to remember the true meaning of the holiday. We always start the morning by reading Luke 2 and the kids retell the Christmas story using our Little People Nativity. Jared complained because he wanted to open his presents. We explained that when Christmas presents come before Christ, we stop getting presents. Needless to say, he quickly started setting up the stable. :) Anyway these are the pages I put together with our pictures of Christmas morning.

I love the three gift thing...it is so much more realistic than the caos of everyone buying for everyone and everything getting out of hand. Way cute pages...do you use a computer program? and can I find out which one?:)
