Santa is scary....

Will has always been afraid of Santa but each year he is a little less afraid. This year he actually smiled for the picture. We didn't intend on seeing Santa but when there wasn't a line at our local museum we seized the opportunity. I am a bit disappointed that Will wasn't dressed up but he does have his favorite shirt on. I am pleased that Santa told him to brush his teeth, clean up after himself and listen to his Mom and Dad. All I need to do is remind him of our visit with Santa when he starts to protest and it stops, I will take this as long as I can!

Are you kiddos scared of Santa?

Ho, Ho, Ho

Will has always been a little scared of Santa but this year really wanted to go see him. He waited with anxious anticipation and even asked for a Tic Tac right before it was his turn, I guess even when you are four you really want to impress Santa. Santa told him to make sure he brushes his teeth, eats well and cleans up his toys and Will told Santa to bring surprises.... (a parents dream).

How in the world is Christmas this week and soon it will be a new year. Time flies and that is why we all need to slow down a bit and enjoy some family time. I am looking forward to sipping hot cocoa, sleeping in and a lot of snuggling with my little guy.

Happy Monday friends, find joy in the small things today, no matter how small they are.

Feel Good Sunday: I Believe

I Believe in Santa Claus

Having faith in Santa Claus

Is not for just the young,

I know I'll keep proclaiming him

As long as I've a tongue.

And even though

I see the gent

Unmasked before my eyes,

Revealing some familiar friend

Who's donned the quaint disguise,

It doesn't change my mind a bit;

I'll still believe, because

There's more than whiskers and a suit

To dear old Santa Claus;

Bright hopes there are,

And dreams come true,

Good cheer, unselfish sharing

Personified by gifts of love

Within the pack he's bearing.

To call these angels

"Santa Claus"Is surely not deceiving,

So I, for one, will never scoff

But go right on believing.
