This year Santa has started to become important. The last few years, Savannah could take him or leave him. However, the realization that he has the power to bring presents has really sunk in.
We were discussing Santa in the car and I brought up that we should leave him some milk and cookies on Christmas eve and maybe a snack for the reindeer too. We talked about how Santa LOVES treats. Then this little gem popped out:
S: ‘Santa has a big belly’
Me: ‘Yes, he does’
S: ‘He should eat healthy food and not just treats! You can’t just eat treats all the time! That makes you sick. Let’s leave him a healthy snack. White milk and fruits and vegetables.’
Sorry Santa – it’s ants on a log and carrots and grapes for you this year.
