What fun I had spending time with family and friends on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The highlight being the receipt of a pair of slippers from my sweet 5 year old grandaughter Madelyn her little sister Delaney. Madelyn presented these slippers to me in such a grand fashion I was near tears. She had heard me tell my daughter that I really only wanted a new pair of slippers for Christmas and so she (the 5 y.o) and her sister(18 m.o) gave me slippers for Christmas. Madelyn told me she picked them out specially for me. She was so delighted to have those slippers for her Nana that she took off my street shoes and put the slippers on my feet just like, as she said, "the Prince for Cinderella". The utter look of joy on this child's face as she was GIVING a gift brought me to tears.
Let us never forget how much better it is to give than it is to receive. A reminder I got from a child.
