Something written by our friend Judy Kirstein several days ago, as she shared an observation about her grandson, seven-year-old Cale:
 
"My grandchildren all know it is fine to play with the figures in the Nativity Scene I put out each Christmas. I had set up the stable and statues with the mind set that it should look nice from the living room. So the Wise Men were kind of off to one side and shepherds off to the other. 

"Well, Cale dropped in this morning and made a stop at the Nativity Scene to play awhile.  Later, when I looked back at the scene again, he had placed each figure (including animals) in a circle looking at the Baby Jesus.  

"What a lesson to remember that the reason for Christmas is to focus on the Baby and not on how nice things look in the room."
