Wishful Thinking

A little snipit from a conversation between Wyatt and me during our afternoon jog today…

Me:  “Hey, buddy, have you decided what you want to ask for from Santa this year?”

Wyatt: “I want a Wii since the lightning striked my old one, a DS and a Mario game for it, a garnet and black golf cart, a four wheeler, a red bike helmet and a Carolina Panthers football helmet with its jersey.”

Me:  “Buddy, that may be too much for Santa to bring.  You are asking for some really expensive things and I don’t think Santa has that much.  He needs to save some money for all the other kids.”

Wyatt: “Oh, Mom, you’re wrong.  Santa doesn’t buy the presents he makes them.  So, it doesn’t matter how much money it is.”

Anyone think 7 is too young to tell him the truth???  I am seriously considering it!

Bless his precious heart.

I would help him narrow his list some. You have such a faith filled home that I am certain he knows the real meaning and joy of Christmas. He is a smart boy and he will easily be led to a pared down list. He, you all, learned far too early how hard life can be. Santa is one of those rare magical childhood moments that only lasts so long...let him have Santa a little longer. Just my thoughts of course.

I always tell my 8 year old son, remember Mommy and Daddy have to send Santa a check. He is a very smart little boy like Wyatt. So he knows to choose a few high end things. I agree with Auntie Mip dont tell him Santa is not real, they are only little so long. Santa is the fun part, But as belivers they know the true reason.
