'Tis the Season

Mason has been so much fun this year for Christmas!  He gets excited anytime he sees Santa and loves seeing where our elf, Elfis, is hiding each morning.

He has asked Santa for a shape splitter (which doesn't exist, so Mom is going to make one) and a Batman toy.  

Today we had this sweet interesting conversation about Christmas:

Mason: Is it almost Christmas time?
Julie: Yes.  Do you know why we celebrate Christmas?  It's because it's Jesus's birthday.
Mason:  Jesus was born in a stable and three wise men got on their donkey's and ride over there.  Jesus was born in a nest and the animals tried to eat him.

This is one of our Christmas books.  It's probably where the whole "Jesus was born in a nest and the animals tried to eat him" thing came from.  
Even though he added his own little twist, I love that he is beginning to understand the true reason for the season.
