And belated Happy Hanukkah and Merry Merry Christmas.
Hanukkah came really early this year...I think it caught us by surprise. This is the first year that Elizabeth really understood the holidays and she welcomed them with gusto.
While we may not be big into organized religions I can tell you this--Elizabeth and I DO believe in Santa Claus! Marty does not offer his opinion and remains silent on this score--same way he won't tell anyone his political leanings. But I can't resist the allure of Santa. And as my dear friend's mom, (you know who you are) told me, "you can't deny her the joys of Santa Claus!" No siree--we can't do that.
She loves the idea of Santa but interestingly she has NO desire to meet him in person. She sat on Santa's lap once when she was a year old but after that..."no way, Jose." I can't say I half blame her. Some of them do look at tad scary. Did you see the one at the mall this year? Yikes.
And presents? Bring them on. She whipped through all of her presents on about 10 minutes--but what a joyful 10 minutes that was.
Elizabeth is in love with the idea of a Christmas tree--Every morning she just "had" to redecorate the tree and as you might imagine the tree was a little "bottom" heavy--but so cute to watch her take ownership of it. Of course she pretty much takes ownership of everything around here. I can't remember the last time I got to watch a TV show of my own while she is around.
