By the way...

I asked the children what the true meaning of Christmas is and this is their responses:

Trevor: "It's about Jesus being born and He was meant to die on the cross and become the Savior which is Christ the Lord."

Brittany: "It's about celebrating Jesus' birthday and giving other than receiving. Jesus was born in a manger so that we may not perish but have everlasting life."

Zachary: "It's a birthday party for Jesus."

I think they get it! :)
