Our daughter has spent this fall learning about the different seasons we experience in this hemisphere: spring, summer, fall/autumn, and winter. And now the seasons are fully within her grasp.
Well, yesterday she was thrown a bit of a curve ball with the concept of "new year's". She wanted to know if the seasons would be changing again (she is really hoping to avoid winter and spring and go straight to summer so she can swim with her buddies again!). We then had to explain about the calendar year (which brought up another whole set of issues and ideas to unpack).
She has gotten the idea now because this is yet another holiday to celebrate and we will be doing some celebrating. She really likes parties. We will have a special dinner out to eat, dress up nice, and come home to make yummy s'mores! I doubt she will make it to midnight for the official changing of the year and neither, probably, will her parents! (Sleep is too precious!)
Whatever way you celebrate the year past and the new year to come- be safe, have fun, and trust God goes before us in all things.
Happy New Year, everyone!
