Time to read "The Christmas Story"

Riley and I put up the nativity scene this weekend. We had an interesting conversation while I was getting things ready that went something like this:

Riley (upon seeing the stable): "Is that my new doll house?"
Me: "No, Jesus goes in there."
Riley (looking inside): "Where is Jesus?"
Me: "I have to go up in the attic to get him."
Riley: "Jesus lives in our attic?"



And while putting up the set, our conversation went like this:

Riley: "Mom, which person is your favorite?"
Me: "I like Jesus, of course, and the little drummer boy."
Riley (pointing to the angel): "I like the fairy best. She is beautiful."



Time to teach her about the "Reason for the Season"!
