Great link, SD. From the guest, way led on to way down through that great music of the 70’s. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

When I was a young boy, around 6 or 7, a week or so before Christmas a kid at recess, probably the same guy a few years later who gave me my first tips on sex, informed me that there was no Santa Claus. This news shook my world and left me pretty disheartened. My grandfather, who lived with us, picked up on my lack of excitement as Christmas approached. He asked me what was up and I told him. I will never forget his response. It was that there was a kind, loving and jolly Santa Claus and he was my mom and dad.
I had a merry Christmas.

I don’t know exactly when this was but it was when it became possible to shop on the net. I bought a lot of stuff that way but who knew about searching internet history etc.? My teens would check the computer everyday and knew nearly everything they were getting. Fresh kids taking advantage of a computer neophyte!

Your mention of a three year old reminds me of one of our early family Chrismases. We have some old 8mm films of Christmas when my daughter was 3.

As you suggest, it was the first Christmas we had hoped to have fun with the Santa Claus concept. So we spent a couple of weeks excitedly building her expectations about Santa. We had hidden all of the presents in a hall closet before putting them under the tree after she was put to bed on Christmas Eve. The films show a beautiful angelic looking little girl ripping into one package after another. When she had opened all of them, she looked under the tree briefly, to make sure there were no more, and then went immediately and looked in the hall closet. I have no idea how she had known where they were.

We have a little trick that Mr. ReddHedd’s parents used to use — put the filled stocking on the child’s bed so that she has a few toys to play with and perhaps lets her parents sleep until daylight cracks the horizon. Or not. Thus far, it’s only whetted her appetite, but I’m hopeful… *G*

Loved it! The only thing he forgot was the Island of Misfit Toys. Who knew Santa was such a hater!

Thanks for the laughs, Christy. Much needed in preparation for the last minute rugby scrum of Christmas shopping that the DP and I need to do, today.

Merry Christmas all! We should have a contest to guess what time the peanut wakes up tomorrow morning. I’m thinking 5:30 am.
