On the drive home from school John David told me he had a question..."how many gifts do we get from the Wise Men?" I aksed him to clarify himself...he then asked "do I get 3 gifts since there are 3 kings?" I told him that it is one gift per person. He was not too thrilled with that answer, but I'm pretty sure he will be one of the few in his school that celebrate this holiday. Or at least that is the way it was when I grew up.
Later in the afternoon I started thinking, I wasn't sure if he figured that out on his own or if he had helped. I called my sister and verified that she does 3 small gifts...so who knows Ethan could have clued him in. I guess in time we will find out where that question cam from.

My kids get a gift on Epiphany too. We didn't as kids, but Brad and I started this tradition in large part to observe the liturgical calendar and the 12 days of Christmas. Each kid gets one gift in our family. BTW, my untimely comments are because I was checking out your blog again (I don't usually have time to follow such things as I'm sure you understand). We're thinking about setting up a blog and as I was sorting through emails I came across your link again.
