Well, I have been wrapping presents for the girls, and I have quickly realized that Chase has many more gifts than the other girls. I think that it is because it is so much more fun to see Chase unwrap gifts and to see her delight at each gift...she is so full of joy, especially at this time of the year. She loves the story of Christmas and delights in the lights on the houses, the nativities at the churches...her joy is so wonderful to see and to give all of us a chance to relive it through a child's eye as she does each and every year. I think that is why she has more gifts under the tree. We all delight in seeing her live out the Christmas story each and every year and it gives us all so much joy that it doesn't matter that she has the most gifts, because it gives us so much joy to see her delight in the morning that it is a gift to us just to see her joy. We see the true meaning of Christmas in sharing her joy every year, and it reminds us what is important to remember throughout the rest of the year. Hopefully, it will carry us through the rest of the year, and we will remember her joy until it is time to celebrate Jesus' birth again next year!! Chase reminds us of it the year around, and we need to listen to her all year long.
