Santa

Joel and I have always had fairly mixed opinions on how to go about the whole "Santa" ordeal.  I was brought up believing there was  Santa, Joel not so much.  In fact he recalls telling a girl in grade 4 that there was no such thing as Santa and her being VERY upset.  So up until this year we have kind of avoided the whole discussion.  The kids I guess have "kinda" believed, but not to the point where it is all they could talk about.

Elissa has expressed in no uncertain terms this year that there is indeed, no Santa.  Connor who doesn't really know a whole lot different has come to this realization as well, mostly because he believes pretty much everything Elissa says, since she is the older sister.

So fast forward to tonight when Joel and I are tucking the wee ones in.  

Elissa- "there is no Santa right dad?" 

Joel- "nope."  

Elissa: "I didn't think so." 

Connor: "Because he wears burgundy right?"

What?  Not sure where that came from, but Connor apparently thinks that since Santa wears burgundy he's not real!  Too cute!  

That's all for tonight!
