"The universal joy of Christmas is certainly wonderful. We ring the bells when princes are born, or toll a mournful dirge when great men pass away. Nations have their red-letter days, their carnivals and festivals, but once in the year and only once, the whole world stands still to celebrate the advent of a life. Only Jesus of Nazareth claims this world-wide, undying remembrance. You cannot cut Christmas out of the Calendar, nor out of the heart of the world."

Not an entirely accurate sentiment. School was in session in the desert. Life went on as any other day on the 25th, and I think we are still part of the "whole world". It is a nice hope for the future, though.
I so enjoyed reading all your Christmas event posts. I love how your boys are growing up!
I had to smile that Lego was all my boys wanted and ever got. ..some things don't change...even decades later.
