Santalogics
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 at 10:52PM The study of how Santa will get down through the chimney to deliver gifts to Jr. and the little one.
LO: Is he going to come down from there?
Jr. : Yes!
LO: it is a good thing we dont have a fire. We don't want him to come down into the fire and die!
Jr. :That is why we don't light our fireplace
LO: But how will be come out if we have closed it!
Jr. :Santa can open the door from the inside silly.
LO: But we have a net! He will get caught in the net!
Jr. : He can cut the net you know..
The whole thing was so serious... should have caught it on video.
Jr. knows her mom and dad are the real Santa and they buy the gifts. The little one is so sold on Santa, Rudolph and the whole sleigh thing. She sincerely believes that the true purpose of every chimney is to receive Santa. She might want me to put a balloon and a sign on top of our chimney to say "this way Santa ->"
Jr. and the LO don't necessarily know Christmas with the whole Jesus birth concept. They know it is a time to be jolly, have gifts exchanged, good food, family reunions, etc.
Then again, they don't know Deepavali with the whole Krishna slaying the demon Narakasura concept. They know it is a time for fireworks, sweets, savories, new clothes and family get togethers, etc.
There is something to be said for raising your kids in a multi ethnic, multi religious, multi cultural environment!
This year we will get Santa an opener that can open the fireplace door from the inside and the latest brand wirecutters.. He deserves it!
A merry Christmas to all !!

Christmas, Jr., little one, merry christmas

I think thats the spirit of a true festival. Loads of cheer, happiness and some incentive to forget the calories and eat ! :)
its good to be children and just look at whats on the plate and not make out what went behind whats on the plate !
Maybe its time to be children again !!
Merry christmas and may the festivities ring in a new cheer
Merry christmas to you and your kids. Such a cute post. I hope they are happy with the gifts "santa" brings. Santa was the only reason we had a fireplace in our house. We never used it for anything else.
