FESTIVUS! Who knew Mr. Costanza from Seinfield would be so right on? I am the room mom for my son Ethan's kindergarten class, and am currently planning the "holiday party". I originally planned a Polar Express party with laminated tickets I made myself, video, book, a coloring book with trains, and the cutest craft to make a train out of marshmallow. Sounds great right? Wrong. It's not ambiguous enough. I'm thinking what could be safer than trains? Oh no...can't refer to Santa.
When I was a kid it was the big no-no to mention the true reason we celebrate Christmas...Jesus. Now we can't even reference a fat guy in a red suit...seriously.
Ok, I get it...we have to be all-inclusive, and multicultural...too bad they don't make a book on that. So now we have to do snowmen...luckily I have a untapped creativity, but it's hard to walk on eggshells with winter boots on:)
Well, as for me and my house...we have the manger scene up, the Christmas tree, and will be reading Matthew 1:18-25 on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate HIM
