Even before my husband and I met, I was raised in church. But, not from my parents. My grandmother took me. I was saved at the age of 21 in the same church I grew up in. After our first Son was born, I went to my husband who also was Christian and told him that I wanted to start our on tradition where our Son would not get up on Christmas morning with only Santa on his mind. So, we came up with the idea that We would give Ole Saint Nick a call and see if he could make it to our house early every year while we were out my parents house opening gifts. Then when we came home from my parents, he would get a early surprise. We had one more child after that 2 years later and we did that for years. The on Christmas morning i would have a big breakfast cooked and we would then all gather around and my husband would read the Christmas story, how Jesus was born, and the real meaning of Christmas to our kids. That way when they got up the next morning there weren't all consumed with Santa Claus. This year will be our first Christmas without him here to share those moments with our boys but I fully intend on keeping that tradition on that was made over 10 years ago.
