December 8: Taking a break...

I wanted to take the kids to NiteLites for this day's Christmas activity and talk about how Christ is the true Light of the World, but they didn't want to go.  The original book I'd looked at for doing activities for keeping Christ in Christmas suggested that I not force activities, so I didn't.  I didn't think that forcing everyone into the van would lead to a fun night out for the family.  It also saved us a little money as there was an entrance fee.  Maybe we'll get there another night yet, but today, we just took a break from Christmas activities.  Maybe next year we should just to the 12 Days of Christmas for activities rather than the full 25 leading up to Christmas Day.
