Where do the stars come from?

Our friends Diane, Bertrand and their daughters Olga, Emma and Paola, dropped us a visit to help us decorate our Christmas tree.

The children on this day also discovered croissants and other French "vienoiseries" and happily pounced on them. They had though just taken a very nutritious breakfast based on crushed cereals and Complan. Their ability to ingest sometimes leaves us flabbergasted.

Then Diane asked to the children why did they think, traditionally, a star is put on top of the Christmas tree? Here are their answers:

Kishan : «Because it is the brightest thing in the world»
Rajesh : «Because… errr… there is a star on the tree» (Thank you Rajesh)
Javed : «Because at the time of Jesus, there were no road maps»
Suman : «To show the direction»
Diljoo : «To tell us what is good and what is bad»
Suraj : «Because the stars come from the moon» (?!) Shyamu : «Because Santa Claus was born in the stars»
Sidhu : «Because Tara is famous!» (Tara means "star" in Hindi, the oscar of the good joke is for Sidhu)
