PwC threw a crazy kids Christmas party so Jan and the kids made the trek from Gland, our village, to downtown Geneva to my office. Janet took the opportunity to visit some of the landmarks right across the street from the office - the United Nations with its huge three legged chair (one leg was symbollically blown off by a landmine) and the antiaircraft gun with the barrel tied in a knot. Jaxon was impressed by both and has decided he wants to stop all wars and tie knots in all guns.
HR managed to convince a new hire to be Pere Noel - he handed out presents to all the kids. Jonas was scared of him so I had to take the present for him. Jaxon froze under pressure and took his present and ran without saying a word. He told Santa what he wanted in a letter.
Jonas now is officially a big boy in my eyes as he goes sledding head first down the hill by himself. Anything he sees Jaxon do, he wants to do. Our region has been blessed with the most snow in a generation and as such we have a nice hill to go sledding on right outside of our apartment which I know very well having spent countless hours with the kids out there.
At the Christmas party for our Church, Jaxon had the role of the Roi Mage - the wise man - and he played the part well. Right when they opened the curtain to start the play we saw Jaxon run across the stage as he was on the wrong side. Later, he pushed his way through the shepherds who were crowding Jesus to give him his gift. Janet and I were beyond proud of our little wise man.
Jaxon had a Christmas party at school in which his class sang a bunch of Christmas songs. We were laughing because they are actually permitted to sing about Christmas here - Mary, wisemen, sheperds and even Jesus.
Jaxon of course was the best of the class although we did not see his mouth move much. He just had a big smile most of the time.
The kids made Christmas decorations which were all over the walls. Our favorite was this baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Tell Jaxon I'm anti-gun too! I just haven't figured out yet how to implement gun prohibition throughout the world.
RépondreSupprimerI would have been cracking up during the play watching Jaxon rush across the stage after the curtains went up, and push the wisemen out of the way to give Jesus his gift! What a funny kid.
