Christmas Through A Child's Eyes (Humor)

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty - Atlantic Shore

There's a lot of talk about the real meaning of Christmas, and while we sometimes get caught up in the glitz of it all we do try to teach our children the real reason for the holiday.

Sometimes though kids have a different take on the real story of Christmas.

creche (Rick Jernberg sxc)My friend's young son Jake came home after Sunday school last week with a new perspective on
the Christmas story.

He had learned all about the birth of Jesus and the Wise Men from
the East who brought gifts to the Baby Jesus.

He was so excited he
could hardly wait to tell his parents.

So as soon as he got into the car to head home, he immediately began, “I learned all
about the very first Christmas in Sunday school today!

camels (sxc)Continuing, with barely a breath, Jake exclaimed, "There
wasn’t a Santa Claus way back then, so these three skinny guys on camels had to deliver all the toys!

Star (Ben Earwicker sxc)"
And then and then," Jake excitedly continued, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with his nose so bright wasn’t there yet, so they had to have this big spotlight in the sky to find their way around!”

I love the re-counts of a story when told by a child.  We learn a thing or two every time!

You just can't throw too much information at children, they will always find a way to make it funny.
