Advent wreath or Menorah

As many of you know, although I do try, we in this house are just not the most devout religious folks in town. I'm going to relay a story about Ryan that proves this very statement (let's keep mum about that, this post has not been "Ryan Approved." Ryan goes to Faith Formation (what we used to call Catechism or CCD)once a week and will make his First Communion in the spring. We have been working very hard on memorizing all of his prayers and such, but I think that some important facts about Catholicism and Christianity may have slipped through the cracks. In FF on Monday he made an advent wreath as a craft. They must have been talking about Advent and the calendar and the liturgical year, because he came home, showed Scott his wreath and asked Scott if he knew what part of the calendar we were in. Scott answered "November" and there was no further discussion. Later that night I was asking Ry about Faith Formation and what he learned about Advent and his craft he made. His reply to me was "Well, I made that candle thing for Hanukkah." The child thought he made a Menorah! Something is clearly lacking in his religious education. I should get right on that.
