Today, we only see the "cuddly" Jesus. That is the image our children are presented each year at Christmas. Sure, Jesus came into the world as a baby, but his birth was only the beginning. They need to know the whole story.

Well, of course. If they're in church every week, year after year, they're going to hear the whole story -- at least in our church! I don't see anything wrong with an emphasis on the Infant Jesus at Christmas. Living in a country where so many babies are killed, we want to celebrate birth!
To me, this doll idea is like Veggie Tales and other "lite" Christian products. If children are being taught and practicing a serious Christian faith at home, they can enjoy these frivolities without any harm. If these products are the only instruction they're getting, then their parents are seriously at fault.
