Waking up early to nurse her little baby Eve over heard Adam talking to God (of course not walking with him anymore that ceased shortly after the fall). What she over heard was Adam and God talking about a future baby to be born on this day, that would be the savior of humanity. He would come to fix the troubles she and Adam had started, and bring man back to Him.
The next day Eve talked to Adam about it, Adam being surprised that she had over heard was taken back a bit. He said "how did you know about this?'
In reply Eve said, "I over heard last night as I had awakened to nurse our child.' What Eve wanted to talk about was a kind of celebration, to celebrate the news of a future savior.
Adams eyes went wide and exclaimed, "Grand idea Eve! This is something that must be celebrated."
So immediately they went to wake their children (quite a few there were at this time) and tell them the news of the celebration. They were quite excited when their mother explained to them, "We shall make for you some sort of gifts as a representation of the grandest gift of all that will be given to us in the future."
Shortly after Adam told them 'Then we shall make all around us grander with decorations of greens and flowers, to reflect on the grandness of the day of this saviors birth.'
So as Adam and Eve had said, they began to do, Eve making the gifts, and Adam setting the decorations. (Of course Adam let the older kids help when needed).
When Adam had finished the cave looked amazing, but it was missing something.... 'A Tree! Thats what we need!' Adam screamed. So he set out to cut down a tree to set up so that they could put gifts under it.
When Adam had finished setting up the tree he told the little ones to go gather flowers from the fields to decorate the tree with. The children did as they were told and shortly after, the tree looked marvelous being decorated with flowers of many different colors. ( I would say like rainbows, but they were not there at this time.)
Later that night Adam and Eve explained that God meant to sent them a savior to fix the mistakes that they had made. As they explained the children rejoiced, and danced around the tree, full of laughter and joy. As they opened their gifts they raised them above their heads and gave God the thanks. Then they sang the first Christmas Carrol in joy of the savior that will be.
So concludes the story of the first Caveman Christmas.

"BUT ALL the optimism of the age had been false and disheartening for this reason, that it had always been trying to prove that we fit in to the world. The Christian optimism is based on the fact that we do NOT fit in to the world." - G.K. Chesterton
