Santa Claus comes tonight!
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, and according to our son, Alex (2), he's coming to Our Town, so he can't be coming to yours! I'm trying to correct this misconception. Sarah (5), on the other hand, has just realized this year that there are "Santa's helpers" who masquerade as the Real Santa.
And above it all, we talk about the Birth of Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem. This week the kids colored and cut out a Nativity scene, and have been joyfully playiing with it. (Okay, Alex has been having Joseph and the cow fight occassionally, but he's only two!)
