Here is what we learned on December 20, 2009:

God’s gift to us was the baby Jesus.  Today we learned about the shepherds in the field.  They had a “heavenly” visitor one night.  An angel came to tell them that something very exciting and very special had happened.  A baby was born!  This was not any baby!  This was a special one!  The baby Jesus was born as a gift for us.

Today we had a lesson from the Grinch!  We learned that Christmas is more than dinner and decorations. Dinners can get burned and decorations ruined but our Christmas can’t.  Its all about Jesus!  Perhaps Jesus was born in a stable because God wanted us to see that it wasn’t about the decorations or about the accommodations.  Its about Jesus and Jesus alone!! In the movie The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, the Grinch stole all of the dinners and trees and lights.   If Christmas was about that, the Grinch would have succeeded in ruining the Christmas.  We know Jesus and because of that, no one can ever steal Christmas from us!
