Small wins...

For most of October and November, my kids were rattling off ALL the things they wanted for Christmas.
ALL of them.
I am not sure they actually UNDERSTOOD what they were doing.
I think it just seemed like THE thing to do.
When it finally came time to sitting on Santa's lap and telling him their deepest, darkest, desire...they drew a blank.
Nothing.
Nada.
Zilch.
In fact, since the holidays launched into full swing, I haven't heard a single thing about what they want.
What I have heard is about what they want TO GIVE.
I am not sure why or how this became their focus, but I am very very thankful.
I am so pleased they are focused on giving. And even on making the gifts themselves. And on helping others in need.
Now if we can just keep this up all year long.
