True meaning of Christmas

This Christmas season has seemed like a whirlwind of going, going, going. As I look back on it, I have realized that we did a terrible job of showing and teaching our children what Christmas is all about. It seemed as though we went from place to place opening presents, eating, and spending just enough time with family to get to the next place to start the whole process again. I am not saying we didn't enjoy spending time with family, but I want quality and quantity time with family. It was also a little overwhelming for the boys as well. I know this because they seem to be cranky and anxious a lot more lately. We have another year to figure out how to better teach our children the meaning of Christmas and establish some traditions that aren't so centered on consumerism and glutenous eating. Do you have any great traditions that help keep your family focused at Christmas? I would love to hear them!
