This Christmas is going to be so much fun! Sam is so excited and understands the Christmas spirit better now that he is 3. I have been trying to get him to watch all those old Christmas shows, like Rudolph, Frosty, etc., but there always is something in there that frightens him and so he will turn it off, and if I try to put it on again another day he will not watch it. I even recorded The Polar Express and he will only watch like the very end of it, he is so funny. So we have a few books that he will let us read to him! We are going to Williams to spend the night this Saturday and ride The Polar Express! He is so excited about that! We have been marking the calendar each day until we go. He can hardly stand it anymore. Christmas is such a magical time for kids, I hope we can make it so for him. We have been listening to Christmas music only when we are in the car and he will sing right along, sometimes he tells me though to turn it off!! We drove around and looked at lights the other night. He says "Oh mommy they are so beautiful." We took him to see Santa and he was not interested in him at all. Although it may have been an act. He wouldn't look at him or speak to him, just sat there on his lap with a strange little look on his face! We are going to make magic food (oatmeal mixed with glitter and sprinkles in case you didn't know) for Santa's reindeer and cookies to put out on Christmas Eve. I also bought some of that flaky glittery snow stuff you can sprinkle around and am going to take one of Jeff's boots and dip it in it and place the footprints around our fireplace area so he will think they are Santa's! I am so excited , it is going to be so much fun!
