Sharing about Christmas

This morning I had a cuddle/chat session with E. Here is what we chatted about:
Me: Do you know what is coming up?
E: Coming up?
Me: Christmas is coming soon!
E: Yeah!
Me: Do you know what Christmas is?
E: No
Me: Christmas is Jesus' birthday!
E: Yeah!
Me: What do you do for Christmas?
E: singing, "Happy Birthday Jesus, Happy Birthday Jesus, Happy Birthday dear Jesus, Happy Birthday Jesus."


This is what we COULD have chatted about:
Me: Do you know what is coming up?
E: Coming up?
Me: Christmas is coming soon!
E: Yeah!
Me: Do you know what Christmas is?
E: No
Me: Christmas is about Santa, presents, trees, decorations, shopping, eating and having parties!
E: I want!

I came across this site today. It sounds like a great idea, similar to others I've heard before and what we try to do yearly anyway. But it has a catchy name and is helping others reach out to those in need.

Jeff and I were just talking about this with our Eli yesterday... Jeff said "do you know whose birthday we celebrate at Christmas time" and Eli said "mine?" :)
Little stinker. His birthday is on the fourth of July- so he thinks all holidays are his birthday.
