This Christmas is the first one that Ben has had at his new C of E school. Although vaguely aware of religious connotations to Christmas, to him (and the rest of the family) Christmas is more about family getting together, and to be brutally honest, presents.
The other day, Ben came home with a competition to design the front cover of the School Christmas Fair programme. The theme was of the Traditional Christmas story. Ben (foolishly) asked me what this was.
Me : Hmmm I’m not really sure. Maybe Rudolf, or Father Christmas? Not sure if there is a traditional Christmas story.
Ben: Umm, is it maybe something to do with Jesus?
Me: Oh yes, that Christmas story.
