Reason for the Season

Am I really up right now? ummm... *pinching myself*... yep, I'm up all right. Michael and I are just now getting around to putting Caitie's gifts from 'santa' under the tree. We got home late from Christmas Eve festivities and put Caitie to bed, but she didn't end up going to sleep until around 2am. Michael and I thought we would rest for a few minutes while Caitie was watching one more Christmas show for the season, and before we knew it, we were in dreamland. We both woke up at the same time, don't know why, and realized we hadn't done our part to help ol' saint nick out, so at around 4am we got out of the warm bed and came downstairs to lavish the Christmas tree with lots, and lots, and I mean LOTS of gifts for Caitie. I then took pics, of course, and am now writing this quick post. It's nice to share gifts with the ones you love, especially if they're our kiddos, but the real reason for the season is Jesus Christ. He was born on this day over 2000 years ago. Let's all remember and give thanks to The Man Above for giving us such a wonderful gift, the best gift of all! Happy Birthday, Jesus! :)
