Last week when James told us that Santa's sleigh was pulled by moose, and then argued that we were totally wrong when we corrected him, we decided that we had done a terrible job of explaining the whole idea of Santa to him. Well, that and the fact that we need to start teaching him the differences between animals with antlers. So we went over to our good friend's house and had a Christmas party - one that included Christmas PJs, cookie making and the movie "Polar Express". I'm not sure how much it helped, but it was a really memorable night!
Our neighborhood had a breakfast with Santa - and he arrived on a fire truck! Nothing could have been more exciting for James, he was totally in awe.
He sat on Santa's lap and gave him his very "long" list of only stickers and candy. And then he made Santa repeat it back to him so that he wouldn't forget.
James is way more excited then he was last year, which makes John and I so much more excited too - Madeleine of course is very unaware of what's going on, but that's perfect... this year will be all about James. He's such a wonderful kid that he deserves one big Christmas before he has to share it with his sister.
