Reindeer and Giraffes

Parker knows enough about Christmas to know that Santa brings "toys" and more specifically, "cars".

Parker knows enough about Christmas to know that at Christmas time we do our best impression of the Griswalds and put up "lights" around the house.

He even knows enough when he sees the picture of Mary and Joseph that the baby they are holding is "baby" Jesus.

But when it comes to reindeer, there is a need for some Christmas education.

When putting up the Christmas tree he rummaged through the various decorations and helped us put them on the Christmas tree. After a few decorations he surprised us when he told us about the "giraffe" that he was holding. Upon looking at what he was talking about we discovered that he was holding up a home-made reindeer made from a candy cane (a home-made classic from way back).

So perhaps this Christmas there won't be "reindeer paws" on the housetop or even will the reindeer be blamed for running over Grandma, but you "better watch out" for the giraffes leading the sleigh and making their way to housetops this Christmas season!
