I have been having alot of fun teaching the boys the nativity story. They are GETTING it this year, and it's so sweet! Tonight, for their bedtime story (aka "The Quinn and Colby Story", as they call it) I told them about two little boys named Quinn and Colby who went out to discover the answer to a mystery - the true meaning of Christmas. Is Christmas about snow? "YES! " they replied. Is Christmas about presents? "YES!" they replied. Is Christmas about Santa? "YES!" they replied. But yet, there was more. So Quinn and Colby searched and searched until they found a book that told them the following story.... about Mary and Joseph and a baby named Jesus. We went through the whole nativity story, and the boys were able to fill in the blanks about the shepherds and the angels, and the star of David, the magi... I was thrilled. It was sinking in!!! What a touching Christmas moment!!!! Where is Frank Capra when I need him??? So we wrapped up the story, with Quinn and Colby discovering the TRUE meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus. THE END. That's when the following addendums occured:
Q:" What about the bear?"
C: "And the shark? Where was the shark?"
Q: "And the whale? Did Quinn and Colby go fishing?"
Oh well. We tried.
