Not to be outdone, the lass decided to color a picture and address it to Santa. (I chose not to scan that one in because her name was too prominent a part of the picture.) Both kids then decided to leave it out on the fireplace in the hopes Santa would stop by and pick them up. They wanted some assurance that he would, in fact, show up to get the letters.
I told them that it wasn’t even Thanksgiving yet and Santa was busy preparing for Christmas already, so I didn’t think he’d be stopping by to pick them up. The kids decided to give it a try anyway, but at least they were prepared.
The boy was the first to notice that their pictures were gone this morning. In their place, a piece of green licorice and a red mint had been left. Apparently, Dads don’t know everything.
And the legend of Santa grows a bit more.

…. who knows what lurks in the minds of kids: WELL, at this time of year, it is NEVER TO EARLY to put your best foot forward … ! !
