Christmas Eve

Oh, it's an exciting time here. L is wrapped up in the magic in Christmas now more than any year before before.

We went to Children't Wonderland this season and for the first time ever, L found himself on Santa's lap. He wasn't sure about it, but this Santa was pretty persuasive. After telling him what he'd like to receive this year, he mentioned to Santa that he *could* find toys at Target. Santa thought that was pretty funny, and assured him that the toys were made by the elves. He also mentioned to me, "At least he didn't say Walmart!".

Santa was a bit heavy on the "naughty and nice", which I've told L I didn't believe in. We've talked about people acting in less that fantastic ways when they are tired, hungry, thirsty, etc. But besides all that, the funny part was Santa telling him there were two lists, and he was on one, but he didn't know which one, and he'd check when he got back. L heard that and jumped off his lap, saying, "I think I'm done with this conversation." I got video, but the audio isn't so great.
