Isn't it funny that we both happened to have Veggie Tales on the brain this week? The Bob the Tomato toy is actually an original project of mine. The original post is on my personal blog and I "featured" it on Catholic Icing. I've made 4 of them for Christmas presents this year. Thanks for all the other Veggie Tales resources! :-D
=) I'm excited about Christmas this year. That DVD helped Daniel learn the real meaning of Christmas (this past summer) and now I can tell him using the nativity advent calendar scene we have. In past years he wasn't interested AT ALL and I didn't know how to teach him in a way he would understand and care about. I guess VeggieTales made him able to relate to it and now he's more open to talk about it. (If that makes sense?!)
I show my students a DVD about the real Christmas and I think they understand it a whole lot more by seeing it.
I didn't know about the Christmas Veggie Tale DVD. I GOT to see it! Thank you for the info. :)

Here is a link to it. I like that the kids learn that Christmas isn't about toys, "It's about giving and the baby Jesus".
Daniel won't watch something if he's not interested in it, so it was sort of a round-about way to get the initial message in there and build from that. Welcome to my world. haha! =)
