To Santa

There is magical about writing letters to Santa and thinking and wishing and the imagination that goes into it all. We just made our Santa Lists this year they have been excited for them, since December began but I've struggled actually getting them done. So today we finally did it, with a little help.

This year I found a cute printable fill-in-the-blank Santa letter to help the kids fill out. 

They had a lot of fun, especially drawing the pictures of themselves and Santa. Even if their drawings were mainly abstract scribbles. Connor made sure he filled in that he had been "Nice" this year and it was hilarious and sweet that he was extremely concerned about Bella purposely, and with mischievous grin to toe, filling in "A Little Bit Naughty". He was so concerned in fact that he filled in "Nice", when she wasn't looking, because he didn't want her to get "no presents".

 When they were ready to write what they wanted Bella new right away, 

"A Necklace".

And Connor wanted,

"A PS3".

When I told him that Santa didn't bring game systems he out smarted me with,

"well last year he brought me the Sega".

So I had to give in and let him write what he wanted, but before he started he decided to change it,

"Actually I want an IPAD".

They couldn't think of anything else so the next day we sealed them up and ran to the mailbox to deliver them to Santa.

They were so excited, even Sydney, who had no idea what was going on and enjoyed crumpling the paper most of all.

In the middle of all the writing Bella announced "So let's talk about Santa, I hear he has buttons, my friends say that."

She kinda was obsessed with all the Santa and Christmas talk this year.

 

There is just something magical about Christmas ...
