A few weeks ago you were given a plain red elf hat to decorate for your holiday program this weekend.
We wandered through Hobby Lobby to find decorations, and you very intentionally selected a rainbow feather garland, multi colored jingle bells, and zebra fabric.
I had to catch myself as I started telling you that your decorations weren't very Christmas-y. True, you will probably be the only zebra rainbow elf on stage, but it doesn't matter one bit if you are proud of what you created.
It's amazing how much kiddos can teach us grown up folk. It's so easy to get caught up in what is supposed to be and miss the magic of what is.
So shine on, my fabulous little elf :)
