I thought that maybe Nathan was old enough this year to enjoy a book I remember reading with our family growing up. I just remember it for being something that made us all laugh together. Nathan did enjoy it...but what I didn't expect was how much Greg and I would enjoy it this year!
In the evenings we sit by the christmas tree and do several little advent calendars. Then we've been reading a chapter or two. I think what our kids have liked most is laughing out loud when Greg and I do (even thought I'm not sure they get it) and getting their backs scratched.
Greg and I didn't expect to be so honestly "touched" by the ending we'd forgotten! I definitely hope this book becomes a tradition for our family...it unexpectely made us feel the "Christmas Spirit" more than about anything we've done so far!
