Here WE Come, Santa Claus!

Moses has been telling me all season that he does NOT like Santa Claus. I think that this stems from his excessive fear of strangers. At the mall one day we saw Santa and I asked Moses if he would like to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. He reluctantly got up on Santa's lap. Moses looks so uncomfortable. He told Santa that he wanted surprises. He wasn't very specific. Notice how comfortable Ella is with Santa while she is on my lap.
That didn't last long. She freaked out when Santa was actually holding here. Moses still looks very nervous.

Eventually, they began warming up to the jolly old man. Now Moses thinks that Christmas is Santa's birthday. We have been telling him about the nativity story daily, but he still, when asked, will tell you that Santa's birthday is what we celebrate this season. Maybe he thinks that when it is your own birthday, your supposed to give away lots of presents!
