I did pack up all the Christmas decorations dutifully by 6 January. Really. But somehow the boxes have not been returned to storage. So this morning Anna retrieved the box with the creches, and carefully arranged the scene, focusing the attention of all the figures on (in her words) 'the baby Jesus'.
Sometimes we wonder what Anna picks up from all that goes on around her. I suspect she doesn't miss much, though. And maybe she is wiser than I am: just because it's time to take down the tree doesn't mean we should shift our attention from the reason we celebrate Christmas.
