Bethlehem Star

It is definitely the Christmas season around here. Jammies, cookies, caroling, crafts, etc. As part of our celebration, we have an advent story calendar. It's really great. Each day has a story that is part of the Birth of Christ. We also have the box one with candies, so we do both. About day 10 or so, the stories were about the star of Bethlehem. How it shone on the wise men, the shepherds, and finally the town of Bethlehem itself near Christ's birth. So, a few weeks ago, Suzy comes bursting into our room at around 5:30 asking if it's Christmas yet. I try and explain that we aren't done with our calendars, haven't made cookies for Santa, haven't done carols at church, etc. She then looks at me all serious and says, "But Mommy, the star of Bethlehem is outside my window tonight!"

Yup, it's the same street light that has been shining for the past four years, darlin'. ;) Nice try.

Although, depending on your perspective, it is pretty convincing.... ;)
