Since Cocoa warned us that our home was lacking Christmas Spirit, we started our "Kindness Manger" for family night. We drew names and started performing secret acts of kindness--always leaving a straw to be placed in the manger to soften Baby Jesus's bed. The first night of the Kindness Manger is always the best... our kids were scampering around everywhere performing little acts of love for each other. Here are just a few:
Dad's toothbrush prepped and ready along with a piece of chocolate!
A message on the fridge.
Ky's things for school all set out and ready... along with a piece of chocolate!
The next morning, we awoke to a fun letter from Cocoa!

This is a great idea, way to get the Christmas spirit going Cocoa! It also reminds me of a favorite Christmas story from Nathan's childhood involving pieces of straw for baby Jesus's manger and Nathan's mom crying because her kids were so naughty Jesus didn't have any straw to sleep on. Glad that there seems to be plenty of straw around the Stevens home! :)
