My daughter has a friend who she refers to as "Indian Nick." It's because there are about 4 Nick's in our apartment community, and Nick's family is from India. He doesn't mind, he actually answers to "Indian Nick" which I find funny.
Indian Nick is about a year older than my daughter, and I have a feeling she has a bit of a crush on him. He's a cutie, so I understand, though because of his family's belief's I also would not encourage it. Not to mention, I do not agree with childhood "relationships," but that's another post for another day.
Over the weekend I decorated my house for Christmas...oh, that reminds me, I should post pictures of my tree. I digress, my house is now decorated for Christmas. Indian Nick has been over quite a bit lately, entertaining Madison while I've been out of commission. The last few days Indian Nick has been over, and I have caught him just staring at our tree. When I asked him about it, he told me his family doesn't celebrate Christmas, and that he thought my tree was beautiful.
Because of my financial hardships this Christmas, Damian and I are not exchanging Christmas gifts with each other. But Damian has decided to give Indian Nick a Christmas present instead. I think it's a great idea! I can't wait to see his face. In the mean time, I just enjoy watching him stare at the tree.Labels: Christmas, Indian Nick |
It's funny how we can have somewhat similar backgrounds and yet have completely different perspectives on things. I'd encourage it. I'd want nothing less from my kids than to have a heart that is tolerant, loving and open to diversity. :)
Can't wait to see the tree. :)
