Matthew is pretty excited about Christmas this year. He will randomly ask if it is Christmas time yet. What he means is is it time to open presents yet. I try to explain the whole idea that it is Jesus' birthday, and that it is Christmas time now - that we get to think of Jesus being born but it is not time to open presents yet.
As I was explaining that we open presents because it is Jesus' birthday, Matthew interrupted me with questions. "Is Jesus going to come down here to have cake and open presents?" I explained no he is going to stay in heaven and we will open presents and think of him. "Are we going to make him a cake and give it to him?" no "Can he make his own cake in heaven?" I actually answered yes here - he could! It was just really cute to see his mind work and try reconcile what he knows about birthdays, with Christmas.
