Since we're not Christian, our celebration of the holiday season is totally secular and just involves getting together for a nice meal and exchanging gifts with immediate family. It never occurred to me to talk to Penguin Girl about Xmas and Santa. Before this year, I don't even think I got anything for her especially for Xmas. Today I went to pick her up from the in-law's house and it turns out, Penguin Girl is really looking forward to Xmas.
PG: I can't wait for Xmas!
Me: What happens on Xmas?
PG: Santa comes and brings presents for the kids. You don't have to ask. You aready know that, silly.
Me: What do you think Santa will bring you?
PG: A talking baby kit.
Me: What's in that?
PG: A baby and everything you need to take care of a baby like bottles and diapers.
Me: Where did you see a talking baby kit?
PG: Nowhere. I just thought of it.
Me: Well, maye Santa will bring you something different.
PG: Maybe lots of candy!
Me: I think lots of candy comes at Halloween.
PG: Maybe Santa will bring gingerbread cookies and candy canes!
Me: Or maybe something else.
I hadn't even planned to wrap anything up for Lorelei. But I just dug out a bunch of stuff from my secret gift stash and wrapped it with yellow paper and red ribbon. I guess I should have asked her what she thought Santa would bring a bit earlier.
