Each year for St. Nick's day the kids get an ornament and other little goodies like chocolate advent calendars. St. Nick tries to give an ornament to each kiddo that means something to them for the year. Here are this year's ornamaments:
For Graham, a little elf-like man that has "best brother" written across his sweater. I think that is all the explanation needed.
For Harper, this was a hard decision- a bumblebee or a lollipop? I went with lollipop. Not only does Harper have a sweet tooth like her Pops, but she adores the song "lollipop, lollipop". She also remembers playdates with friends when they ate lollipops together and that is all I hear from her when I tell her that Caroline is coming over. The only thing that disappointed her with the ornament was that it looks real, but isn't.
For Lucy, a Rudolph ornament was delivered, as asked for in her Santa letter. The movie, the song and the calling of reindeer are obsessions of hers right now. Rudolph has a prominent place on our tree, sort of. He is not high or in the center, rather he is bottom left, right where Lucy can reach him but as she says, "a little far way so Harper can't get him."
St. Nick also brought Santa socks and a Barbie Nutcracker DVD for the girls, and a new bottle for Graham. And with Santa's magic, the bottle has worked, when no others had for over a month. Christmas magic? Oh yes, Santa, I believe.
