My Friend, Baby Jesus

Yesterday we were having dinner with my grandparents, and we were having Caitlin's left-over cake and ice cream from her birthday party. Of course, that started the inevitable conversation about whose birthday was next. Someone pointed out that it was Mommy's next - and my sister then corrected us and pointed out that actually, Baby Jesus would be having his birthday in December. (See, always putting that Catholic-school education to good use.) My grandmother told Caitlin that when she wakes up Christmas morning and sees all of her presents under the Christmas tree, she should say "Thank you" to Baby Jesus, since he was the reason we have Christmas. Caitlin replied "Yes, I will say THANK YOU MY FRIEND BABY JESUS!".
