"Christmasisms"

Each year so far, Brenna has learned something new about Christmas. Last year, she learned to say "Santa", only she said, "Nanta". This year she has the real word down but has learned of a new Christmas pop band. Frosty and the Snowman. Have you heard of them? She loves to watch the movie and play their hit song over and over.

We have also been talking about Baby Jesus and that Christmas is celebrating his birthday. I was helping her role play with her little people nativity set when I got called away. I came back to this.

Apparently everyone needed to crowd in closely to see baby Jesus.

I also heard the old familiar tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" wafting from the bathroom one afternoon. Nathan slyly asked me if I knew why she was singing that song.

I responded, "Well, I saw her take the lamb into the bathroom with her. Ohhh, she also had Mary. Now that makes sense doesn't it."

Do you think she knew how true her words were?

Lastly, I have been baking like a mad woman last night and all day today. I think I am finished. I burned one batch of my Ginger Molasses Cookies, and my sugar cookies, though tasty, turned out to be a sticky mess. Hopefully everyone will eat them with a napkin handy. Maybe I should serve them with a warning label. At the end of the night, this is what I had to show for all my hard work.


Luckily I have a husband who is great enough to do all those dishes. I kept telling him he should be glad I had already done them several times today. Yea for Nathan. I didn't have to cook everything and clean it all up too.

So, now I am feeling a bit tired. I think I will retire to bed with a good book for the evening.
