Will: Daddy, only 4 more days til Christmas!
James: What happens on Christmas?
Will: We celebrate Jesus’ birthday!
James: What else happens?
Will: Alex gets to open up his police car, his dump truck and race car! (He picked out some small cars to give Alex for Christmas yesterday.)
James: You like to give gifts, don’t you?
Will: Yes!

Tonight, at our Christmas party for the youth workers, one of our friend’s son fell down and bumped his head. He started crying and Will said “What was that?” James said “Owen fell down and hurt his head”. Will said “Oh, that’s good–well, that’s bad for them, but good for us because I don’t want Alex to get hurt!”
