SO, THIS PAST WEEK I PUT UP THE TREE AND WE HUNG LIGHTS AROUND THE CEILING AND I PUT UP THE NATIVITY AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. IN THE BOX THERE WAS A PICTURE OF LITTLE MESE ON SANTA CLAUS' LAP. SO I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREP MARLOWE FOR THE WARD PARTY THIS PAST WEEKEND TO EXPLAIN WHO SANTA IS AND HELP HER TO NOT BE SCARED. LAST YEAR SHE WAS VERY SCARED. EACH DAY WE WOULD GO OVER AND OVER WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE DOES, BUT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO SIT ON HIS LAP IN ORDER TO GET THE CANDY AND TOYS. WHEN IT CAME TIME TO SIT ON HIS LAP SHE DUG HER FINGERNAILS INTO MY ARM AND SCREAMED LIKE I HAVE NEVER HEARD HER DO BEFORE. HER BROTHER, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS COMPLETELY FINE WITH IT. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SUCH AN EASY GOING BABY. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE PICTURES ONTO THE COMPUTER, BUT HERE ARE SOME FROM THAT NIGHT. I LOVE CHRISTMAS.
