Over the weekend, we started decorating the house for Christmas. Pumpkin and Cookie are still young and Christmas holds magic, wonder and pretty lights everywhere. Driving anywhere around this time of the year elicits all sorts of oohs and ahhs from the backseat as they see lights on houses and other holiday décor. It’s so much fun to see them get excited.
In the midst of all this decorating, I began setting up the nativity scene. Cookie was watching me very intently as I carefully arranged the three kings, the shepherd and the animals, and Mary and Joseph surrounding Baby Jesus. Then, I placed the Angel at the back and Cookie gasps! She is so excited and shouts out, “It’s Tinkerbell!”
Really? No such reaction about the tree and all the ornaments, the lights on the house that Daddy and Weasel put up, or even the Santa Claus stuff everywhere? Cookie goes bonkers over the “fairy” in the nativity scene.
Somehow, Hark! The Herald Tinkerbell Sings just doesn’t have the same feeling.
Oh! I love it!! Tinkerbell! Too cute.
