Teaching Collin About the Nativity

Collin is constantly surprising us with the things that he seems to understand.  After I pick him up from school in the evenings, he knows that when we pull on to our street he is about to see Christmas lights.  He has started saying, "Ready....ready...ready...GO!" as we're about to turn the corner and then he yells, "Kick-Kick Lights - YAYYY!"

I asked him the other day who Tinsley's daddy was (Tinsley is his cousin) and he said, "Aww-Hen" (aka, my brother Austin).

If we pull into Sonic, or any fastfood restaurant with neon lights, he yells, "Yay, burger!"

So when I pulled out his Little People Nativity set a few weeks ago and he easily started referring to the baby as Baby Jesus, I melted.  We took it with us on a road trip, and now I can't find Baby Jesus!  I'm really hoping he is in the car somewhere...

Here are a few other ways we're teaching Collin about the Story of Christmas...


Who Is Coming to Our House?

This Is The Stable

Christmas in the Manger



I would really like to find a video for him to watch also.  Maybe a Veggie Tales one?  Ideas are welcome!
