So the other night we were finishing up the decking of the halls here at Chez Gibson when my seven-year-old son Thomas asked the following question

Mom, when are we gonna get out that thing? You know… the thing with the Jesus action figures?

He meant our Nativity scene…

I was half asleep in my luxurious leather chair when he said it, but I did hear it. I got a good chuckle out of that because he meant it so seriously and honestly.
