My sons caught the wonder and marvel in the same way their father did. I cannot describe the joy that I have as a dad to see how well my sons "caught" that same wonder! Josh even wrote a song about it a few years back, entitled "Wonder." The words to his song capture many of the high points of this amazing season, so I paste them here in the hope that they will help you to catch the wonder. You can also download a somewhat quality MP3 of a recent remix the song by going here. Or you can purchase a newer version on most music outlets like iTunes, etc. Just search for Josh Wymore (or "Wonder").
Wonder

Wonder of
wonders: eternity entered time.
Marvel of
marvels: the Word became flesh.
And I wonder,
and I marvel how he came and dwelt among his own.
And I
wonder, and I marvel how his own knew him not.
Wonder of
wonders: majesty clothed with humility.
Marvel of
marvels: the Word became flesh.
And I
wonder, and I marvel that the light stepped into the darkness.
And I
wonder, and I marvel that men loved the darkness instead of the light.
Wonder of
wonders: God the Son became the Son of Man.
Marvel of
marvels: the Word became flesh.
And I
wonder, and I marvel that he came not to condemn but to save.
And I
wonder, and I marvel that he made those who received him the very children of
God.
And I wonder,
and I marvel how the light broke through into the darkness.
And I glory,
and I glory that the darkness could not overcome the light!
Wonder of
wonders.
Marvel of
marvels.
Glory of
glories.
That God
became a man.
Lost in the wonder of Emmanuel,
Tom, one of Papa's wonder-filled children
