On December 5th we watched Nicolas, the boy who became Santa; see link below. This was in preparation of St. Nicolas Day Dec. 6th. (See post for Dec. 6)
CCC of America » Nicholas: The Boy Who Became Santa.
Today in celebration of the beginning of Christmas break I took the kids to see Polar Express on the big screen as they had only seen it on TV. They sat on the edge of their seats and really enjoyed it!
Then for our bedtime story we read “Santa and the Christ Child”
All of this to enjoy the Advent Season in preparation for Christmas and to help them learn the true meaning of Christmas! They have all learned that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Birthday, and to celebrate His birthday we give each other gifts. One of the children came home and said they had asked each child in class what Christmas was about and only 4 said “Jesus Birthday” the others all said presents!
We have enjoyed Advent Adventures to help prepare to celebrate Jesus Birthday!
Have a great weekend!
