The other day my 5 year old daughter was telling me she liked Christmas, “sooooooo much!” We joke with each other all the time, and I decided that would be a good time to joke with her. I say that for all of you that might think I was being mean to my daughter. And yes, she knows when I'm joking. And yes, she likes it when I joke with her.
I teased her and told her what was important was my birthday. She insisted, “No Christmas was important.” I said, “No. My birthday is what's important.” This went back and forth like a tennis match for a couple of minutes. Her voice become more insistent till she said, “No Christmas is important because it's Jesus's birthday!!!”
“Your right,” I said, “Christmas is important because it's celebrating Jesus's birthday. It's not the presents, or the tree, or Santa Claus, or candy canes. Christmas is important because it celebrates when Jesus was born.”
