Phone convo with sister…
Me...What was the most memorable Christmas present?
Sister...One year, I wanted a cabbage patch doll. I was opening all my presents and was disappointed there wasn’t a cabbage patch doll!
There was a knock at the door and I answered the door and there wasn’t anyone there, but there was a present.
Dad‘s yelling who is it?
S...Nobody, just a present!
Dad...Well, who is it for?
S...Looks at the tag and yells… IT”S FOR ME!!
It was the cabbage patch doll she'd been wanting!
M...Who was missing from the room?
S...Nobody, everybody was there.
M...Who was out of breathe?
S...Nobody.
M...Oh! Soo you DO believe in Santa Clause!!! LOL!
Niece and sister convo…
Niece...This year I am going to find out for sure if there really is a Santa Clause!
S...How are you going to do that?
N...I’m going to check Santa’s handwriting on the tags, if it looks like yours or daddies then I will know there is no Santa.
I told my sister to take all the tags to work and have someone else do them!
Niece finds her letters to Santa in her mother’s room.
N...How did you get my letters to Santa?
S...Santa said we could have them for keepsakes.

That is so cute and what a clever idea to have the tags done by someone at work! Loved it!
When I was four and we lived in on the base in Okinawa, they had a special program where "santa" would come by your house and talk for a few minutes. Well the door bell rings on Christmas Eve and my parents send me to "see who it is". I open the door, take one look at Santa, and slam the door in his face. I started crying because Santa was there and I wasn't asleep so I thought he wouldn't leave me any presents.

Yes, this path to preserving the magic in life is a slippery slope...
But I DO believe!
You are serious Santa folks!
Oh, God! Your sister's got her work cut out for her this year! Niece is getting street-smart about this whole Santa-thing!
Now, she's gotta have someone else write the tags, and make sure she uses unfamiliar wrapping paper....yikes!
Menopausal...Thanks, them kids are so smart we sometimes have to think outside the box.
Spot...LMAO!! Aww, you poor thing, my heart goes out to your tears.
Maureen...The older and wiser they get the harder it is too keep them believing.
Grace...Yup! LOL!
Kathryn...LOL, My niece is getting too smart!
The lengths we go to in order to lie to our children! :)
We used to have a relative come by and leave the presents on the doorstep. He would ring sleigh bells by the windows as he ran to his car down the road. THe innocence and hope were so fun to watch with the little kids.
Preserve magic, always...
Kaylen...How cute and sneaky!
Pseudo...No matter what it takes!
Man, kids are so stinkin' smart! I'm waiting with baited breath to start answering impossible questions. And I'm not smart enough for that. Dangit. =)
