DAANG! I am gonna be out partying again. SHUCKS! I will check in with you all when I get back in if you are still here.
Tonight santa wraps her gifts. This is a yearly tradition. I sneak the "santa" gifts over too my mom's with the children who *know* and as such help be santa. (This year Cait and Emily) Mom and I have wine, the girls have cocoa and we wrap the remainder of the gifts that dad and I haven't yet finished.
Each year it is getting fewer and fewer since there are more and more children who *know* about santa. Don't know what I am going to do when they all know!
This is how we ease the Santa blow.
I teach the kids that the spirit of Santa is very real. We talk about St. Nick and how he doesn't live in the north pole but rather his spirit lives on in mom, dad's and adults who then do his work. So when kids are big enough to know this then they are big enough to be santa too. They love it.
HOwever, when we get to the last one we are going to have to start being santa for someone else or something. I think I have a couple years left before it is an issue.
