Did your Christmas gift-giving enhance your family's focus on and appreciation of Jesus' birth? If it did, great! Stop reading.
But if it didn't, then I have a thought for you to consider. What if you were to separate the two, the celebration of Jesus and the nurturing family bonds by giving gifts? What if Christmas Eve and Day were just about rejoicing in the coming of our Savior with special meals, special worship and lots of singing? And then, what if, say, New Year's Eve and Day were all about family fun and the creation of great memories, including gifts? (And more special meals!) This would be killing two birds with two stones.
