This Christmas I wanted to start our family Christmas tradition so I asked others about theirs. I want Ian to know the real meaning of Christmas is to remember the birth of Christ instead of the presents. So I went to bookstore to pick up a book about Nativity for Ian.
Patrick's family always open one gift on the Christmas Eve. And for kids, that gift is the pajama from Aunt Laura. Of course we are doing the same thing for Ian.
I made a nativity flannel board story for Ian. After dinner, we let Ian opened the present then use the flannel board story to tell him about Nativity. It worked great. Ian loved it. Then Ian was off to bed.
After Ian's asleep, we took all the gifts out and placed them under the Christmas tree. I wish Ian would understand more about the real meaning of Christmas next year!
