Santa, Presley, aaaaand Piper...

When Presley was three, she use to say that Santa wasn't allowed in our house. Only Rudolph and Frosty could come in.  She'd allow Santa to drive the sleigh and land it....but that's as far as he got!  She didn't even leave any cookies for Santa that year.  She did however leave Frosty a beer out on the back patio and Rudolph a carrot. 

The next year, she said that it was okay if Santa came to our house.  She was still a bit uneasy about it, but she allowed it.  After he came and went she decided that Ms. Clause needed to bring her some cookies the next year. 

When she was 5, Ms. Clause didn't have a proper kitchen to bake any of her yummy treats.  It's sad, I know.... And luckily Presley forgot her request from the year before and didn't ask why Ms. Clause failed her.  Oh by this year, she totally accepted Santa.  She was excited for his arrival!!!  When she was 5, her theory on asking for gifts from mommy and daddy was this: If Santa brings her gifts (everything on her list), mommy and daddy don't have to spend their money on anything!  Big savings for parents!!!  

Isn't that sweet???

Now she is 6 and still loves and believes in Santa.  I was afraid this would be ruined for her when she started school. But so far so good.  I want her to believe for as long as she can!

Piper on the other hand is not so loving towards Santa.  She's 3, so she is at the same place that Presley was when she was 3. She wrinkles her brow at the drop of his name.  She says Santa isn't allowed to bring her presents.  Only her best friend Dora is.  And she is going to put the covers over her head so Santa can't give her a kiss on her cheek. When she sees a Santa in a store, she clings to my leg and cuts off the circulation.  And she hurts his feelings by telling him dear old Santa that she doesn't like him. Just this morning she told me that he's mean.  I don't know where she got that from.  If she sees a Santa and Ms. Clause together, she'll sit in Ms. Clause's lap and scowl at Santa from afar. 

I mentioned his name....

~ So I don't know how this year is going to play out yet. 

~ Is Santa stopping by for Presley while Dora stops in for Piper?

~ Is Santa coming for both girls and Piper is just

going to have to accept it?

~ Will Frosty get another beer out on the back patio???? You know he can't come in.  He might just melt.

~ Will Rudolph get his organic carrot?
~ Will Ms. Clause send some goodies this year???

~ Will Santa get any cookies this year?  I hope so.  He really loves cookies.  I can't believe his will power either!  Just to take one bite of a cookie is just absolutely astonishing to me!  I just wished I had an ounce of that will power!  If Santa does get cookies...I hope he gets chocolate milk with it too!  YUM!!!

However it plays out...I'll keep you posted!

Happy Holidays!!!
