Baby Jesus' Travels: A Special Update

Over the past week, Baby Jesus has continued to make the rounds, visiting a new family each day. There are so many wonderful things he has done over the week that it is hard to say what his favorite memories are of time spent with new friends.

Everyone knows how exciting a birthday can feel, especially if you are still in the single digits! One family helped Baby Jesus to get ready for his upcoming birthday by making special decorations and even singing some Christmas songs to get into the spirit. There is nothing quite as nice as celebrating your birthday all month, and with a new family each day.

Baby Jesus has been so lucky. He has had lots of sleepovers and stayed up late, whispering and talking with his new friends because it was just too exciting to go to sleep. It's nice to have Baby Jesus spend the night because he helps his friends not to get scared in the middle of the night. He has also really enjoyed getting to play lots of fun games. One of Baby Jesus' favorite activities has been coloring. He really likes it when his youngest friends draw portraits of him, often in the abstract, and he doesn't even mind if a little of the colors miss the paper and get him instead.

Most of Baby Jesus' new friends are so sad to see him go to the next house. But, Jesus is always teaching his friends about sharing. He also promises to come back again... and we know he keeps his promises.
