December fifth is Sinkterklaas. Cory and I have a lot of family around and our Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing day are filled with extended family and a lot of joy :) But sometimes we lose out on the specialness of appreciating each other within our own little family - so we decided to celebrate Sinterklaas by decorating our house and tree, eating special treats, listening to Christmas music, and watching Christmas movies.
We purchase a new Christmas movie and CD year to slowly build our collection. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was a BIG hit. I was worried Henry may be afraid of the abominable snowman but he really loved it. Three generations later little ones are still enjoying this film!
Henry's Advent Calendar as well as 24 Christmas books that are wrapped and waiting each morning for one to be unwrapped and read
Even the Kitchen sink needs some bling!
I have been reading to Henry about the REAL Christmas story. That we are celebrating the birth of Christ. He is starting to understand in a small way. I have collected Jesse Tree Devotionals and ornaments and am planning to start that next year. How have you taught the really little ones about Christ's birth?
