I think its once there at school and start learning their first christmas nativity play, that they then get the real meaning of christmas. My kids school always starts Reception off with a propper old fashioned nativity play, which is a great way of teaching them all about Jesus and why we celebrate it.
Up until then, none of mine understood either. Bless his little cotton's though x-x-x

I've told Ben that its Jesus' birthday and he wants to make a birthday cake to take to church on Christmas day lol! I think its important that our lo's know what its all about, as the true meaning of Christmas is rapidly being lost!

Joshua couldnt really handle the information last year but he hated most aspects of Christmas. This year he is loving the magical side to it, and has also been learning the religious side at school which he seems to be comprehending. Im not sure if he has connected the 2, but he does have some understanding of them. He did a nativity last year which he didnt understand, but this year he is playing a shepard and seems to understand much more about his role in the navitity and what its about. Bless max hehe, they say some great little lines dont they lol
