My Christmas Story

If you purchase something after clicking on the links in this post, I’ll probably earn a few bucks from it. We aren’t talking enough for a mansion or yacht but more like chocolate and wine. And if I mention a product, I probably got a sample and possibly a cash payment. Remember that all Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings are 100% my own and may not represent your experience.

Madison, who is only 2 (aff), came up with this on Christmas Eve morning.

Since we were going to leave on Christmas morning for Green Bay and not be back for a week, we did the Santa thing Christmas Eve morning. One of her gifts that we had put together was a scooter for her. She was excited and rode the thing for a quite a while. Finally, Bill asked her to open her other presents from Santa.

Her reply was, “Daddy, those aren't from Santa. You brought them up from downstairs.”

Two weeks prior, I wrapped all of our Christmas presents while they were gone. Once Bill got home (aff), he carried them downstairs. I saved it a little by telling her that the unwrapped presents were from Santa and the wrapped ones were from Mommy and Daddy!
