Last year Connor had no idea who Santa was or really what was coming on Christmas day. But this year after seeing a few Christmas movies year round, we are hearing lots about him. And not all good.

Connor: "I see it, it's really high... " "OH I see CHRISTMAS!"
Daddy: "You mean Santa?"
Connor: "Santa I see Santa. He's coming to our house with presents right now."
Daddy: (laughing) "Well it is going to take him awhile to get there, like a few months. But nice try buddy."
Connor: "Let's go to Joe's house.
Mommy: "Were going to have Christmas at Joe's house.
Connor: "I don't want to have Christmas at Joe's house.
(A fit ensues. After he is calmed down, I ask him why?)
Mommy: Why don't you want to have Christmas at Joe's house. Santa will come.
(He starts to cry again.)
Connor: "I know I know
"If Santa comes he will take me away in his bag and I don't want to fly.
(I had to smile and keep my laughs inside as I comforted him that Santa would not take him.)

Mommy: "Do you want to brush your teeth? Look this is a new one!
Connor: "Wooooow, did Santa bring it?
Mommy: "Nope, Mommy bought it, silly.
(This happened when I bought him new socks too.)
Connor "I want green boots!
Mommy: "Well we should ask Santa to bring you some for Christmas.
Connor: "He won't.
Mommy: "Why?
Connor: "Because I am too naughty.
Mommy: (mustering a laugh) "Well we better try really hard to be nice and let Santa decide then. ...Go kiss Sister, Santa loves when your nice to Sister.
(kisses ensue)
Connor is such a silly and I love hearing him talk and knowing what he is thinking as he tries to figure things out. He makes me smile. And I am kinda in love with this picture, hand on his hip, half closed eyes, and him making his sister grin without even trying. I am so excited to share the holidays with this boy. His excitement and love for life is exhilarating and hilarious!
