december dailys--the nativity

So, I got this Playmobil nativity set the other day, and the boys and I had so much fun putting it all together. There are quite a few pieces, and already some are lost. (I can't imagine at this point ever having Legos around, but I know our time is coming!) Will got up early this morning to play with them.
When we got it out we talked about the birth of Christ, and how Christmas is really a celebration of His birthday. So then Ben starts going off, "I can't wait for Christmas to get presents!!!...but that's not really what it's all about, is it Mom.....but I can't wait for presents!" It's an inner battle, isn't it?!

We like the nativity set--it looks like everything is there, what got lost? Yes, when you're a child, Santa vs. Jesus can be a hard thing.
