the giving tree.

okay, so it's not your typical christmas story. but it's one of all time favorites. & as i was readding it to the boys last night i realized that this story truly encompasses what the entire christmas season is all about - giving part, if not all of ourselves, to others. the whole "reason for the season" is to celebrate the greatest gift of all - the birth of christ.

for god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, thatwhosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (john 3:16)
