Installment 2 - Christmas bloopers and tidbits
Here are a couple of funny things that happened on Christmas:
- My aunt Daphne accidentally wrapped up a onesie previously belonging to Cole and gave it to Cole as a present! HA I took a pic of Emily, Cole and the regifted onesie
- Immeadiately afterwards, Noelle opened her gift from Lily, and then Lily picks up a pair of scissors and says, "Mama why did we give Noelle scissors?" LOL I accidentally wrapped our scissors with the gift! I said, "I thought I lost those!" and Jessie adds "Yeah, we had to go out and buy some new ones!" Then I took a pic of Amber laughing hysterically.
- This happened the Sat. before Christmas. "Santa" made a surprise visit to Papa and Granny's house (Jessie's dad and stepmom's) during our Christmas time there. He handed out gifts to each child and they each took a pic with him, etc. Then he left, and when we left, we went to the mall as planned, because the kids still wanted to see Santa there. (I tried to get out of it, but they wanted to see him "again".) So we saw him and took a pic (very cute indeed) and when we left, Lily said, "Why did Santa look different?" OOPS. Jessie quickly said he must've needed to change his suit and the kids pointed out his gloves were a different color. So I cleverly surmised that he must've spilled milk on himself and Jessie said, "yeah, he just had to change his suit" and then Seth says, "Yeah and his beard too." HAHA Jessie saves the day with, "Yeah, he must've needed a trim." A close call!
The cutest moment of Christmas goes to Cole, who was wearing a Santa suit! He was SO cute! So sweet and precious. Seth and Lily got a LOT of stuff and when we got home on Christmas night we somehow managed to incorporate most of it into their rooms. One of my favorite gifts was a bottle of "Pure White Linen", a perfume that smells mmmmmm. Another one of my favorites is a "Spanish Daily Phrase and Culture Calendar: A whole year of phrases, cultural tidbits, and trivia." This is one of those offbeat things that totally appeals to my sense of humor. The calendar has all sorts of phrases that makes "Learning Spanish a breeze!" haha You know I have to give a couple of examples:
- December 5: Te pedi una cita con el dentista./ I got you an appointment with the dentist.
- Followed by December 6: Pues yo llame a tu psiquiatra; hace much que no lo ves./ And I called your psychiatrist; you have not seen him in a while.
- December 18 (for some reason the funniest ones are in December): Tengo la tension muy baja y a veces me desmayo./ I have very low blood pressure and sometimes I faint.
Ok, ok. Alone, those phrases are not really funny, but to be daily Spanish phrases on a calendar? To me, that's hilarious!

Maybe numbers 1 and 2 could be on one of David Letterman's top 10 lists -- Top 10 Signs You're Too Stressed At Christmas. Or, Top 10 Signs You've Had Too Much Eggnog! LOL it's so funny though!!
I forgot..
My parents always told me Santa had 'helpers' all around the world that dressed like him and came to visit the kids and see what they wanted for Christmas because the "REAL" Santa was too busy at the North Pole (seeing as all this is happening right before Christmas!)
I know, I thought of that during "the discussion" but it was too late for me to interject that idea in. Jessie'd already used the "He changed clothes" excuse. I feel the end is pretty near for Santa with Seth. My mom read that most kids stop believing when they're eight. It's just sad!
It is sad when your Santa believing days are over. Christmas is never as fun. I can't believe that Seth is close to that age! Sad!
Mama always told us about the helpers like Laura suggested. I believed it and never questioned it! I always knew it might not be the "real" Santa that delivered presents, but I knew that HE knew Santa and helped him at the North Pole. That was enough for me! (a very naive child, I know!)
