I do like Christmas but for some reason this year I'm not into the shopping scene.  Tyler was here today but we left early this morning to go to see Lukas in the Christmas story.  He played a cow, a wiggly cow.  There were sheep, camels, shepherds, Magi, angels, and, of course, the star, and Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus.  The children sang beautifully and with gusto; they were so cute.
