Christmas Questions

Why is the Christmas moose facing the corner like he is in time out?


Why has Santa been evicted from the sled and cast carelessly aside?

Why does Baby Jesus always seem to be missing from the manger? And when he is there, why is he usually riding the camel?

Oh. This is why.
The garland on my staircase is growing more bald by the day. Somebody keeps plucking leaves and berries right off, and gradually, they have accumulated in little piles on the floor. Yesterday she was trying to shove a clump of berries in the dog's mouth saying, "Apples!!"

These are the moments keeping Christmas real at our house.

Oh my goodness, how I love this post!! I just realized that none of my kids are doing those adorable things anymore! Although, I think that one of the Wisemen did get a ride on a matchbox motorcycle the other day...
