He came to me and said, "Did YOU put that money under the little pillow? Don't LIE to me, Mom." I told him I didn't because I didn't, his dad did. :) BUT STILL. I was hoping for at least a year or two more of the magic...<BR/><BR/>Santa is fairly minor at our house (the kids usually get more gifts-wise from us and their grandparents) but I personally think that believing in someone who knows you and wants you to be good and desires to give you every good gift is not a terrible thing. <BR/><BR/>Until maybe he shows up the zoo. :)Code Yellow Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283426654179102400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869613013276327471.post-36277681558065485392008-12-18T19:52:00.000-06:002008-12-18T19:52:00.000-06:00I hope my kids are as clever as yours some day.I hope my kids are as clever as yours some day.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713429259524328027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869613013276327471.post-23954188561083585202008-12-18T12:05:00.000-06:002008-12-18T12:05:00.000-06:00I love how childrens minds process!
