All She Wants For Christmas.

 

Despite the fact that we will only be opening stockings this Christmas weekend, the kids still love to chat about toys they like and items they would wish to acquire.

On a recent car ride, the conversation in the backseat broke down a little something like this:

“If you could have anything in your stocking, what would it be?” London asked.

Normal responses flowed from her siblings.

“A pillow pet.”    “Nerds!”   “Legos.”   “Doll clothes.”

 

 

Piper Finn didn’t offer such a speedy comeback.

She sighed.

She pondered.

She waited until everyone was done sharing.

She took a deep breath.

Sounding as if she had just made a serious decision, she sighed once more.  Deeply.

And then she said,

“Well.

I guess if I have to pick only one thing.

I guess,

all I want

is

a living unicorn.”

    A friend of mine recently shared that his 5-year-old nephew – who, by the way, is accustomed to getting whatever he wants or pitching a fit when he doesn't – wants only one thing for Christmas…..a visit to Santa's workshop! Boy, I am glad I won't be at his house on Christmas morning 😉
