Christmas with Samantha this year was such a joy. She was very curious about this 'Santa Clause' and these presents he was bringing. Everyone kept saying she wouldn't understand this year so I didn't sit down and explain the process until Christmas Eve, and this is basically how our conversation went:
Me: "Sammy, guess who's coming to town tonight."
Sam: "ADDY!!"
Me: "No, Santa Clause"
Sam: "NO! Addy and Noey"
Me: "No, Santa Clause is coming and he’s going to bring you presents"
Sam: "presents!!!"
Me: "Yep, what do you want him to bring? A pony?"
Sam: "No pony"
Me: "A Dolly?"
Sam: "No dolly"
Me: "Candy?"
Sam: "No Dandy…..(pause) uh-huh dandy"
Me: "So you want presents and candy?
Sam: "Uh-huh dandy.... no presents"
She figured it out Christmas morning when she saw her presents. But she required mandatory candy breaks between each present, good thing Santa brought a huge stocking packed full of candy.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!
