My kids have been scripting their Christmas list in their minds since last MARCH. I've known that they would change their minds a million times, so I've found it quite irritable each time they have updated their requests throughout the summer and into the fall. Well, it seems that the temperature drop of 10 degrees has driven home the point that Santa's sleigh needs to be loaded with the appropriate gifts - and SOON. So they pulled out the paper and pencils after dinner tonight (FOUR days before Thanksgiving) to write a letter to Santa.
So the letters are sealed and waiting to be delivered to the special mailbox at the mall. They have one of those - right? The special box that takes letters directly to the North Pole? James was wondering how mailed letters get to the North Pole. That's when we got to talk about how letters get to China or any other far away place in this big world of ours.
Nice Sabbath Day activity I know. Oh well, maybe now we can work on GRATITUDE while we celebrate Thanksgiving.
