christmas magic
The most magical thing happened to my daughter this Christmas. She met Santa (the real one) on Christmas Eve! Yesterday she told me the whole story. I wrote it down so we will never forget the Christmas she flew over the rooftops while the rest of us slept.
Well, I was sleeping and I heard a cracking noise and then I woke up and said, “is it morning?” then I jumped off my bed and ran to my window. I saw Santa! Then I ran downstairs and the reindeer were there. I called them by reindeer names. I went “Dasher, Prancer, Blitzen, Cupid, Comet and Donner and the famous reindeer is Rudolph and then I sang the song to them. You know, the Rudolph one (and then sings the whole song at the top of her lungs including the line ‘laugh and call him names like hukadouka’). And then Santa shouted, “Hello, girly!” and then when he was on the roof he rushed down the chimney and saw me waiting for him. And then I jumped up and gave him a big hug. I helped him collect all of the presents under the tree. I saw him get the air hockey table out of his sack and he asked me to help him carry it because he isn’t all that big. I was actually almost as big as him. So I said, “Sure” and then he lifted the left side up and I lifted the right side up and then we put it down right there (points to fireplace) and I said, “A little bit closer to the rug” and then he put it on the rug. Then I showed Santa the present that I gave to Mama. I tiptoed and opened your door and got it to show to Santa and then I put it back. Then Santa ate the cookies and milk how I eat them and then Santa said to me, “Want a sleigh ride?” and I said, “Yes!”. And then I went for 3 sleigh rides and then it was time for Santa to go so he dropped me off at home and I gave him a big hug and even a kiss and then he went “Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night” and I went blooming down the chimney and I was like, “whee!” and then I went to my bedroom and told it all to Susie-Bloozie (her favourite doll). I had all the treats in my belly from Santa and I ate too much treats so I had a tummy ache and then I went to wake up Daddy and I climbed into your bed. Then we went downstairs and opened all of our presents.
After she recounted this entire story, I whispered in her ear, “Did you really see Santa?”. She looked at me with a sneaky little grin and said, “I saw him. I really did!”.
