Is that an elf or is that baby Jesus?

Somehow, one of Santa's elves appeared in our home.  Bro spied it from afar and announced... with a gasp... "Look, it's baby Jesus!" 

Um... maybe I need to do a better job of explaining the difference between an elf and baby Jesus.

Santa must have been reading my mind and totally took over.

The very next day Elf (her official name) showed up at our house, sitting in the Nativity, and reading a book about the Christmas Story.  What a sweet surprise.
