It hardly seems possible that another Christmas has come and gone. I think it comes quicker than it goes, but then that is just my opinion.

there, and the children were rather young. Only one of them was going 
to school at the time. It was Christmas morning and as we got up the 
kids were so excited about Christmas and the Christmas gifts under the 
tree that they just went crazy. 

My wife and I sat back, watch them and laughed as they were laughing
together. 

We were going to have an orderly opening of Christmas gifts, at least
that was our plan. The kids, however, were so excited that they delved 
into the pile of Christmas presents, not knowing that behind them was 
the Christmas tree. 

All at once, without any kind of warning, the Christmas tree fell over
and almost hit one of the kids. There was a trio of screaming that I 
think would have scared Santa Claus himself. 

Nobody was hurt, but three little munchkins were terribly frightened.
They were so frightened they did not want to open up their Christmas 
presents. 

Thinking about this, my wife and I chuckled most heartily. From then on,
the children never overlooked the Christmas tree and with a great deal 
of caution opened up their Christmas presents. 

In reminiscing about this, I thought of what the angel said to the
shepherds that night so long ago, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you 
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people,” (Luke 2:10). 

The years come and go but the most important thing are the memories they
leave behind.
