Our ward (church group) had it's Christmas party which includes dinner and a visit from that most special visitor, Santa Claus. Anytime a hot dinner is provided and I don't have to cook or clean it that is indeed special night. After eating dinner while enjoying some college musicians play Christmas songs, the primary children gathered on stage to sing a few numbers. Zany, who is not in primary yet as she is to young and will be in nursery for another year, snuck on stage and sort of joined in with the singing. I think she knew she wasn't really supposed to be up there as she didn't quite join the group but stood a little apart. I figured it would make more of a scene trying to get her off the stage and as she was behaving so well she got to stay.

Soon we heard the jingle bells of Santa's sleigh and in whisked Santa to hear all the children's hopes and wishes.
Declan: Santa are you coming to my house first?
Santa: Yes.
Declan: What time?
Santa: I don't know. Have you been good?
Declan: No
Santa: Laughs. What do you want for Christmas?
Declan: Lego Batman 3 video game, ninja and spy gear.
Santa: Why are you wearing my hat?
McCoy: I don't know.
Santa: What do you want for Christmas?
McCoy: Football cards.
Santa: Who is the player that would be the best to get?
McCoy: Peyton Manning.
Santa: What do you want for Christmas?
Archer: Bow and Arrow, Mask, & Airplane
Zany didn't want to get to close to Santa and she wouldn't sit on Santa's lap but I am sure he knows what she wants. The excitement is mounting around here as the time for Santa's visit draws close. Soon we will all know who was naughty or nice!
