We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
Compassion is a hard thing to explain to children. When I taught other people’s children in the classroom, I knew that my actions had a big impact on them – their opinions, values, morals. They would go home and preach whatever I’d taught them about behaviour and responsibility to exasperated parents who had been saying…

As a natural planner, the period just after Christmas is frenzied ~ at least in my head anyway. I’m not actively doing anything of course, just thinking about doing it. It’s hard to do a great deal when you need 8 eyes in your head at all times of the day; two for Jensen, two…
