I love that they have such a simple wish list. Not only was it easy to shop for them, but I am glad that they don't expect a lot of stuff. After all, that is not what Christmas is all about.
To help keep the focus on Christ this year, our children have been practicing their own version of Charlie Brown's famous Christmas movie. Harrison plays Charlie Brown, with his one and only line, "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"
Then Kennedy enters as Linus and tells what Christmas is about from the paraphrased version of Luke chapter two from the Bible.
Jackson is the tech guy who shines the flash light on Kennedy when she calls, "Lights, please!"
Will our children actually go through with the little skit for the relatives on Christmas? Hard to say. I will have some candy canes on hand for bribing, but if they do get stage fright and refuse to do it, that's okay. We have had a great time practicing and reviewing the real meaning of Christmas together in this creative way.
