Re: Xmas is a coming - Funny

[Guest guest]

When I was homeschooling the kids, (son age 9, daughter age 4) we talked

about St. and that he was a historical figure characterized by

generosity

and that he lived a long time ago, we should emulate his giving spirit etc.

A few weeks later, just days before Christmas we went to the cemetery to put

little Christmas trees on my grandparent's graves. I hadn't been there in

quite awhile and was having a hard time finding their markers. A lady who worked

there saw my dilemma and assured me, not to worry, she was sure they were still

there : ). Once we found them she started asking the kids if they were

excited for Santa to come. My daughter answered " Santa lived a long time ago and

he's dead now and he could be buried here somewhere for all I know "

She looked at me like what have you done to your kids? What do you say? I

mumbled something about historical.....generosity.......homeschool.......come on

kids get back in the car.

I think back to it and it just cracks me up every time!

Blessings,
