December Birthdays: Jesus and Santa

Maia and I were talking on Sunday night in the rocking chair because she wasn’t quite ready to go to sleep. We were talking about Thanksgiving and then Christmas. I was talking about the tree we’ll put up and how we’re going to pick out a special ornament and put it on our tree, etc. Then I talked about why we have Christmas.


E- We have Christmas because it’s Jesus’ birthday.

M- And we have a cake and some candles?

E- We can probably have a cake or a breakfast cake (cinnamon roll) for Jesus' birthday.

M- And we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

E- Sure, we can sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

(Maia starts whispering/singing Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Jesus, Happy Birthday to you.)

M- And after Jesus’ birthday it’s Santa’s birthday. Santa brings presents. And Jesus brings presents too!


It's time to talk about the TRUE meaning of Christmas now.
