Awesome post and picture! We don't put Baby Jesus in the manger until Christmas Eve night - it was always what Kristyn looked for before she even looked at what Santa had brought her. Merry Christmas!

That sounds wonderful......I love the treasure hunt! That sounds wonderful... I was brought up believing in Santa and I can remember the very moment someone told me the truth... I was hurt.. It was never the same after that until I had my own children ... We had this debate about Santa too. We decided to do Santa tradition, but now I have 13yr old and 10 yr old who know the truth . Christmas has become about ordering a gift up now.. So I was wondering how I could turn Christmas around for them and this might help me! Thanks !! Jesus is the reason for the season !
