Alex has a terrific vocabulary these days, but he is still pretty stubborn about his pronunciations. So, we celebrated “Chrism” this year instead of Christmas. His version has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Even though Tim and I had decided to hold off on Chrism decorations every year until after Alex’s birthday, I couldn’t help but hang up our felt tree early. Alex was super excited and it opened the door to all kinds of fun conversations about Chrism and Santa and presents.

We also went to the mall with friends to visit a “snow” exhibit and to see Santa. The Santa was really nice and would talk to the kids, even if pictures weren’t being purchased. I wasn’t able to take a picture, but it was great practice for Alex. He told him he wanted tools for Chrism.
