Counting down to Jesus' bday

Since the start of Dec, Ian has been counting down to Jesus bday with the help of a countdown of advent calendar given by Jiu2 and he has been excitedly asking to stick a sticker as he counts down to the day and as the day draws closer, he is also counting down with much anticipation as he is older now he understands the meaning of Christmas (and maybe some help from Sun Sch?) and he knows on this day he will receive presents so as the day approaches, he is asking how come he doesn't have presents. Even staying over po2's pl, the malay neighbour also gave gifts for po2 and ah gong and they only gave him an Oreo wafer and he was asking po2 how come he din get any presents....kept insisting po2 to give him presents even if its just from NTUC hhahaa guess that's how desperate our boy is for presents as he doesn't know he will get it on the day since we are celebrating on that day

So nice of Jiu2 and Aunt Lorraine to come by our place to pass us presents so the boy can really anticipate the coming of Christmas and then perhaps open it on boxing day? Coz we have been celebrating on the day itself and usually the kids will open right on the spot (guess they can't quite wait to see what is given to them) and so perhaps giving in advance will allow them to wait patiently for the coming of the day???

Anw we have been telling Ian its Jesus' bday on Christmas and for that reason we are getting a real cake for the Christmas family party tmr coz its not a log cake that matter but its really a member of the household we are celebrating with so much fanfare from the secular world, guess its time to teach our 3yo son what's the true meaning of Christmas even as we read the countdown of Christmas readings from the bible, there's so much to tell of our son the meaning of Christmas

For the boy, he knows after Jesus' bday, its gonna be daddy's bday guess that's how he reads his whole yr calendar by including all the family members' bdays and he is sure counting down to his coz he's telling the whole world he's turning 4 really soon.....hahhaaa so much abt counting down
