My Thoughts on Emma's Thoughts on Santa




Before this year, Emma was not a fan of Santa Claus. She would not go anywhere near him and for years we went without an annual picture of Emma with Santa.
But this year, she realized that if she wanted Santa to bring her presents of choice, she was going to have to talk to the big guy in red. So she conquered her fears and talked to Santa.
So far, she has talked to Santa three times: at the mall, at school, and at the library. And each time she has bravely told him what she wanted.
Which has led me to wonder, maybe this is all too much? Does she wonder why each Santa looks a little different? Does she wonder why she has to retell Santa each time what she wants? Is she concerned that he cannot seem to remember when she just told him a few days ago?
Hopefully, she is not overthinking all of this. Like me.

Wait...Santa is not real? Dang thanks for ruining it for me :(
I always like explaining the black Santa to the kids...now that's a hard one.

Billy's theory is the real Santa is at the mall and all other Santas are just helpers.
