I love hearing about you spending time with your niece and nephew - that is so cool! Really, very cool! Stacey, keep doing that - you are an awesome aunt to them! Okay, back to the message - yes - it really is beautiful as we watch the Grinch really start to "get it". It becomes way too easy to forget what the true meaning of the season is... You too - Stacey - have a very wonderful Christmas! And here's to 2009 and all the promise it holds! Stacey, isn’t that a great book (well, really most of Dr. Seuss’ books are pretty great)!

That's exactly it! In an effort to buy "things", we lose focus on what is truly important during the Christmas season. Jennifer, I like what you're doing - the focus is on time together with loved ones! Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas! @Kelly - Dr. Seuss is pretty awesome! Merry Christmas to you, too, Kelly! @Carla - We've slipped into this pattern of Christmas starting in October (or earlier) - right through Christmas (and beyond). And it's led to the meaning of Christmas getting lost sometimes, amongst all the wrapping paper and bows. Here's to getting back to simpler days. Have a wonderful Christmas, Carla! @Natalia - For kids, Christmas is a special time of year. And I do think that's important - that we don't want to take that away. There is something magical about opening presents from under the tree. Yet, I don't think it has to be about having the most or the best gifts. It's about being together, sharing moments, and really appreciating all that has been given and received. Merry Christmas to you and your family Natalia! @Jennifer – We do miss out, yes!

I've been talking to my son about Christmas and the true meaning. He's 4 so his response is pretty much "OK mama, but I still get presents, right?" :) It amazes me how commercial Christmas has gotten, the evidence is how early they bring out the Christmas stuff in the stores. Right after Halloween this year. I wish that I focused more on giving throughout the year. Something to work on in 2009! I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. <abbr><em>Natalia Burleson´s last blog post..<a href="//nataliaburleson.com/?p=85" rel="nofollow">Good Friday Morning!</a></em></abbr> Hey Lance,
