As is tradition, everyone waited at the top of the stairs and then started singing Christmas carols before being called down for Christmas morning... some were a little sleepy, but woke up quickly once they reached the bottom of the stairs!
This year we decided to do three gifts... just like Jesus... the children each received a Christmas outfit for church, a new set of bedding for their rooms and a new monogramed towel... and one thing that they really wanted... for some it was an mp3 player, for others a name brand pair of shoes, for others remote control cars and the list goes on.
In receiving "less" this year the kids all seemed to appreciate their gifts that much more and many kids said that it was their best Christmas ever!
Thank you so much to all of you who sent donations towards Christmas for the children you sponsor or for our kids in general! Thank you to Scotland Trinity Presbyterian Church for all the wonderful stocking stuffers that you sent. We are so thankful for Christ... the best and truest gift of Christmas!
