Christmas art

Today when I got the kids home from school, with their gingerbread houses and Christmas trees they'd made in class, we.... Well, actually, first we unwrapped the plastic on both of them, well no, first we tried to untie the ribbon on the top of them, and then I found the scissors and cut through them, and then I ripped the plastic off them, and then we set up in a place of honor on the dining room table, even though Jack's teacher Ms. Bernstein actually made the thing because Jack was out sick.

Anyway! We sat down at the kitchen table with paper, crayons, and scissors and made pictures. I made an old standby, Santa in his sleigh, waving, being pulled by reindeer. Kate also made Santa in his sleigh, and Rudolph, and cut each of them out and we taped them up to the kitchen windows. Jack made a picture of Santa coming down the chimney into the living room, where there were big presents for everyone. He drew a reindeer on the roof, and then drew another picture with more reindeer. Those, too, we put up on the cabinets in the kitchen.

Merry Christmas!
