When I was a child, there was something magical about Christmas. The gifts, mostly toys, were a big thing for me and my siblings. Since we believed that Santa Claus would be out on Christmas eve night delivering gifts, we would be in bed very early on that night. Going to early morning mass was another important event at this time of year, and was always looked forward to. I can remember the whole family spending the day at my grandmother's home, and the adults would all be in the kitchen 'cooking up a storm.' My siblings, cousins, and I, were too busy playing with our toys and games to be taken up with what was going on in the kitchen.
These days, I also appreciate receiving as well as giving gifts, but the family get-together and the sharing of a Christmas meal together mean a whole lot more to me these days. Still high on the list of things to do at this time is attending church.
