John's concept of Christmas is pretty much what you'd expect for a 2.5 year old. He knows a man named Santa Claus brings presents. He doesn't know about the Naughty or Nice part of Christmas just yet, but he does know about holidays that are celebrated all over the world thanks to Caillou's Christmas episodes and movies. He knows how to sing the Dreidel song and he knows how to say Kwanza (I don't really consider that a holiday since it just started in the sixties, but that's just me). Anywho, he does have some concept of Jesus. He has his Little People Nativity set with Blue Mary and Brown Joseph. When we went to Mass on Christmas Day, we took him up to the altar to see the big Nativity set and he knew Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. Plus, he gets to decorate a tree. It's pretty much "win-win" for him.
