Ho, Ho, Ho . . . Merry Christmas! I am so excited about celebrating Jesus' birthday that I just want to jump up and down! Instead of a delicious birthday cake and toys, Mom said that Jesus got some good-smelling oils and gold to celebrate His birth. That sounds pretty neat, too!

Last week, we went to Papa John's Tree Farm and Dad picked out a nice, fat Frasier Fir. We set up my VeggieTales nativity scene (Mom showed me how Baby Jesus laid in the manger, and she made sure to mention that He was a real baby instead of a little carrot) and then I watched Mom decorate the tree. I wanted to help, too, so I pulled one ornament off and put it back on again. I really love looking at the lights and seeing my reflection in the glass balls.

When I went for my one-year doctor's appointment this past week, I had to get a bunch of shots that really hurt! Even the nurse said she was sorry before she stuck me. But I was a big boy and she gave me two stickers when it was over. I tipped the scales at almost 24 pounds, and the silly old ear-ache that I had is gone. Since I was feeling better, Mom let me go with the kids at church to the roller skating rink. Dad was so cool out on the rink . . . I hope I can skate like him one day.

Tonight we went to a church Christmas party, and we have another one tomorrow. I hope you have fun at all of your holiday get-togethers, and until next time, Merry Christmas!


Season's Greetings,

Levi
