This may
also come as a surprise to you....but Santa Clause does exist and he visited
our house on Christmas Eve.
We did the
traditional Christmas dinner with friends coming over along with some of our
nieces and nephews. Soeren and Nui joined us with their daughter and Andy
joined us with his daughter so it was an almost equal representation of adults
and kids (if you count me as a kid).
Later on in
the evening Santa Clause appeared (Ethan asked where the reindeer were and
apparently they were parked on the roof).
Ethan had been asking all evening whether Santa would be coming. Eventually we told him that Santa is a very busy man and that he visits all the good kids first and leaves all the naughty ones until later...that kept him quiet for a while.
He gave the
children lots of presents and soon afterwards he headed off again...he is a
very busy person this time of the year (I think he borrowed a couple of beer from the fridge).
By the end
of the evening we were so stuffed with food that we had to be rolled into bed.
