This is the first year that CJ is really excited about Santa Claus. We've been taking him to see Santa Claus for the past three Christmases, watching Polar Express and talking about Santa Claus, but this is the first year that CJ has talked about Santa, asked questions about him, thought about what it means to be bad and not get presents, etc.We've seen two Santas this holiday season. A couple of weeks ago, we went to the mall with my sister and niece to see Santa. We went early so the mall wasn't packed. CJ was less nervous about sitting on a stranger's lap than in years past and he knew just what to say when Santa asked him what he wanted: Trackmaster Thomas and battery-powered Percy.
At CJ's holiday party at school last week, Santa arrived and once again, the kids lined up to sit on St. Nick's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. It's interesting that CJ did not note that Santa looked different, nor wonder why Santa needed to hear from him twice about what he wants for the holidays.We even have CJ's Christmas wish list on our fridge. As expected, the list is full of Thomas gear. So I've lined up the entire family to get CJ the various trains and tracks that he wants. Our living room and hall closet are now filled with four sets of trains and tracks:
- grey plastic tracks and take along trains
- wooden tracks and what CJ calls lead along trains
- grey tracks and battery-powered trains
- Lego tracks and trains
