Christmas Grows Up

Christmas morning and only one of my kids is awake. My how times change. The enthusiasm hasn't lessened, but it sure has taken new forms. The gifts they make are more clever and more beautiful. Their contributions to the holiday banter are growing in sophistication and wit. Christmas, with all our family traditions, is the same every year. But more subtly, no two Christmases are ever the same. Growing kids make sure of that.
