I was so happy last year when we were at Target and Joyce asked me, "Mom who's this guy with the beard?" referring to some wrapping paper with Santa on it. This year though it's like we can't escape it. We have made it part of our Santa story to leave gifts so Santa can bring them to other people. Part of our Christmas preparation this year is planning what toys we can leave under the tree for him to take. It was really fun when Joyce was going through every toy in our house and piling them up under the tree ready to give them away (of course also with the hopes of getting a few new ones) but at least it will be a giving and receiving thing and not just receiving. <br /><br />We love the Raven Brings the Light story - especially Gerald McDermott's illustrated version. I would love to learn from you the yoga poses to act it out. It's a beautiful story.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625864994635465787noreply@blogger.com
