At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles… gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story.

Great post Mr. Sammy. Keep writing.
