My family LOVES Christmas. Chelsea is especially joyful this year about the upcoming holiday. She loves the lights, the music, and the fact that everyone walks around with a smile on their face (well, most of the time). They have already started playing Christmas music on the radio - Chelsea is in Heaven! ;-)
The other day we were listening to Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
Chelsea, "Mom the other reindeer were so mean to Rudolph."
I said, "oh?".
Chelsea, "they were just 'using' Rudolph. They are so mean!"
So I said, "yes, but when Rudolph came through for them in a tight spot they were happy and admired him."
Chelsea, "oh no, Mom, they 'used' him! It's like when there is a kid at school who is not popular, then he/she becomes a famous singer. All of a sudden the other kids want to be their friend after they treated them so badly!"
I said, "Well that's an interesting view point, but don't you think the other reindeer decided that Rudolph was probably an OK reindeer after all? Can't they change their opinion?"
Chelsea,"no Mom, they are just really mean reindeer. I don't like 'the other reindeer'."
Something for all of us to think about this holiday season.... :-)
