Christmas With An Almost 4 Yr. Old

Here is my list of observations:

The Merry  (Charlotte)


  1. Santa  is everywhere, at the mall, at school, on TV, he is amazing!
  2. Candy cane on the tree. Candy ON the tree, that you can just pick off the tree when you pass by.
  3. Let me talk to my elf (on shelf) Riley about all my dolls, their names and likes. Where is she?
  4. There are a lot of things  that light up, dance, move. I can press them ALL day. Anytime I want.
  5. Those toy commercials are awesome! I want every single one. That one too. Yep, in pink.
  6. Christmas crafts . Glue Sticks , sparkles, snowflakes, melted snowman,  red and green glitter!!!
  7. Jingle Bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way, ......Repeat, .....Repeat....
  8. Our neighbors blow up Santa, Elf, Mickey, Scooby, Snoopy, Santa on a Harley is just Wow!
  9. All the ornaments are so pretty, I could touch them all day long. Let's change that one to here. Here is better.
  10. That Grinch sure is mean. Read it again. Again.


The Naughty (Mama)


  1. Non stop lying to my daughter. Of course he commutes from the mall to the North Pole.
  2. Not the Grinch again, I can't, what about this cute Christmas Bear book with no words.
  3. Really, blow up Santa with a cactus, NO!!
  4. Christmas cranky due to lack of sleep on account of  Elf on Shelf placement anxiety.
  5. Let me help you put up that impossible to replace  First Married ornament made of Waterford. No really, let me help you...., LET ME HELP ....you, .That's OK, we'll check ebay.
  6. Bruce Springsteen Christmas song,?? Nope, Jingle Bells it is.
  7. OK, smile, sit still, look Merry, merrier...I said  happy! sit down! Perfect Xmas picture.
  8. OK, who is the wise guy who put Mary in front of the wise men? Oh, OK, she is the leader.
  9. Gingerbread house roof sliding off? Just eat it. Done.
  10. Bitty Baby Doll, $80.00. That's almost our cable bill. I hope she cleans. bitiful, pitiful.
I must admit, the best part of having a 3.75  year old is there no way to avoid it, you just have to join in the fun or you'll lose your egg noggin.  So today we will watch Rudolph again, bake cookies (cut from a roll, c'mon!) and glue cotton snowmen. We all do it to see them smile!!!
