Nathan has a new phrase. Lately he always tells us that ‘it seems as though….’ It’s just so cute hearing such a ‘big person’ saying coming out of a small person.
A belated Merry Christmas as well to all of you. Sorry for not updating in a while, things have been busy.
Season’s Greetings!
Nathan had his first Christmas Place this year… With the liberty we gained from his going to playgroup was also to follow the questions we tried to avoid as long as we could, but realise there’s no use pretending to live in another world: “Who is Santa? I’ve been a good boy … and, What is a sleigh?” are some of Nathan’s new conversation chains …
None the less, it was terribly cute this morning when all the proud Mommies and Daddies gathered at Kay’s house for “The Christmas Tableu”
At 8:30 the Nathan’s playgroup (all dressed in Santa Outfits) formed a choir on Kay’s steps. They sang “We wish you a merry Christmas” and “Santa got stuck up the chimney”
Then there was an interlude as the kids all went inside and then we were escorted in to see a beautiful nativity made up of our precious little toddlers.
Nathan was one of the three wise men, and the choir of Angels sang “Mary had a baby, Oh Lord”.
It was just SO cute!
After that the kids changed back into their red Santa outfits and we all had breakfast.
Just after breakfast (around 9:15) Santa himself arrived … on a bicycle … pulling a two wheel trolley behind loaded with presents.
Turns out that not only Nathan, but each of his friends, were all Good this year, and each of a loverly present from the Chuckling man in Red.
At around 9:30 the morning feastivities were over (and I had to go to work) but we can’t wait to see what next year’ll bring …
Merry Christmas!

A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said,
“Well, son, it was 1932; the depth of the Great Depression.
I was down to my last nickel.
I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day
polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple
for ten cents.
The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples.
I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5 pm for
20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of
which I’d accumulated a fortune of $1.37.
Then my wife’s father died and left us two million dollars.”
