Santa Man

While strolling through the Enchanted Garden of Lights last week, Lily showed her true feelings about the man in the red suit. The four of us had stumbled across the area where children can sit on Santa's lap and offer their gift requests. Although we feared the long, gluttonous list the Lily would give, we gave her the opportunity to meet the man.

"I don't want that Santa man staring at me!" she protested, for all of the other, less paranoid children to hear. That was that and we were on our way down the trail.

Later that night, Lily asked that I give Santa a call and tell him that she likes everything "princessey." Apparently she isn't prepared to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
