A new Thomas story


Thomas saves Christmas.

Matthew totally LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine. LOVES him. So Grandma made up a story to keep him happy the other day. Something about Thomas delivering Christmas gifts to all the children. Boy did she ever have Matthew's attention.

Well, now tonight before falling asleep, Matthew tells me that at Christmas time, Thomas is going to bring him a present. He thinks it will be Henry (a train)!

Things I need to teach Matthew:
1) difference between fiction and nonfiction
2) SANTA brings toys, not Thomas
3) the real meaning of Christmas!

I also may have to go out and buy him Henry for Christmas!

What's next? Grandma telling him the story about Mary & Joseph taking the train to Bethlehem!
