This weekend was filled with Christmas preparations.

From the downtown tree lighting,

to Christmas tree picking,

 

to visits to Santa

to house decorations…

But it was also filled with questions about traditions, religions and symbols. While trying to process it all, Katherine formed a question that I think sums up how confusing the over-commercialized Christmas has become.

 She said, “If Santa is not the name of Jesus’ dad, then I don’t get it. What the heck!”
