december 17th:

read a christmas story

weston's mom gave us this "kit" a few years back.  there is a wooden tree and then several ornaments to hang while you read a story.  in the story, santa claus entreats you to "teach the children" the meaning of christmas, as well as the individual meanings of the symbols with which we celebrate.


kate had a great time listening to the story and hanging each ornament on the tree as we talked about it's particular symbolism.

it's been a good teacher for me, too!

That's very cool! I had no idea there was symbolism behind those kinds of things. I'll have to look into that!
