As a child, Christmas was a time of wonder for me. School was closed. Sledding, hot chocolate, decorations, and social gatherings were the order of the day. Finally, early on Christmas morning, I would scurry downstairs to behold the tree, lights ablaze and brightly colored gifts stuffed underneath. With great anticipation, and impatience, I would wait for the rest of the family to get out of bed so we could open our presents. As an adult I ask, "Is Christmas truly about gifts?" My response is still, "Yes, absolutely." Christmas continues to be a time of wonder for me; but for a very different reason now. Today, let's go back in time to one of those early Christmas mornings, infused with that child-like exuberance. However, this time, let's view the presents under the tree through spiritual eyes and envision the gift-giver as God Almighty. In keeping with the spirit of the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," let's relish each present as, one by one, we open Twelve Gifts of Christmas From Our Heavenly Father.
