Sorry, I didi not mean to pick on you -- I should have used the "All" Sounds like your activities brought you and your children closer to the real reason for the Season -- Jesus Christ.
No problem, I knew you were directing it to "all" but you had directed me to a great resource on Jesse trees, as I recall, so I wanted to add to your post.
:-) Merry Christmas might be premature, what should I say, Have an Anticipation-Filled Advent!? (-:
