The santa questions

This time of year is a particular favorite of both RJ and myself. I love that there are a lot of craft activities readily available and very cheep that I can use to entertain myself and my daughters, RJ loves buying us secret gifts when he is supposed to be at work, we love getting extra gifts, I give up on my extra strict budget for a month. And we enjoy spending a little extra time together and with family.

This time of year brings about a slew of santa questions. " Is santa real?", " How can Santa get all of the presents made if he is at the mall?" " How can santa get to everyone in the world?" And here are my answers. " He is real as long as you believe in him, thats why so many grown ups don't get presents." " Santa doesn't come to the mall. Those are just guys santa hires to dress like him and then tell him what all the little boys and girls want" and " Imagine the world is a beach ball. Santa starts at the first time zone and works his way back. That way he gets extra time. So its really like he has 2 days, and sense not all kids believe in santa he doesn't have to go to everyone's house."

Now that we have that under control, we just have to kick this cough that keeps circulating throughout the family.
