fulfillment

"Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 'Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel,' which translated means 'God with us'...and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Matthew 1:23/Isaiah 7:14, 9:6)

another family tradition of ours is to leave the empty manger out under the tree throughout the season in anticipation of seeing baby Jesus there on christmas morning. it helps us remember that we are celebrating God's gift of Jesus, born to save us from our sin.

*the part of baby Jesus is played by baby gary :)

That is another great tradition, and it helps to keep our focus onj the real reason why we can celebrate. .
