I'm not going to lie.... I love having one more reason to give my kids about why they should be listening at Christmas time.
"Remember, you better be nice, so Santa will bring lots of presents..."
We used that line just this morning at around 6:30 AM.
My kids were wired this morning at six!! You would think that it was Christmas morning every morning for the last week according to the times they have been waking up! UGH!!
I know lots of parents tell their kids that Santa isn't real, but I love it! Not just for the reason listed above, but it's just magical. I can remember the excitement as a little kid, and trying to figure out how Santa works. I love that my kids are experiencing the magic of Christmas too!
Though Mallary, the other night at bed time, told John, "I don't want Santa to watch me."
I mean, really, it's kind of creepy thinking of this old man watching us all the time and he will bring us presents accordingly. But, I think from Mallary's perspective it was purely, she had been a stinker that day and didn't want it to affect her Christmas loot! Rather than change her behavior, she was thinking maybe Santa could just not watch her...
Love it!
Hope you're on the nice list!!
