Santa Claus Is Comin To Town

Mimi has been  feverishly decking the halls. We have been making snowflakes and white paper roses, and we displayed paper dolls , we call Kai and Gerta (inspired by several readings of the Snow Queen)for the tree and fireplace. Mimi also completed her traditional gingerbread house.

The excitement of the holiday is building as she counts down the days with her advent calendar.
Mimi also made a list, the list is volumes long and reveals a lot about Mimi,

1. blonde wig
2.A homework book
3.silver and gold jewelry
4.A good joke book(please for the love of God)
5.Pirates Go To School
6.two race cars
7.Barbie dream house
8. a small car(one she can really drive)
9.a house she can fit in(I guess the one she lives in doesn't count)
10.Twister mania for x box
11.a box full of Legos
12.fake seeing glasses
13. camera
14.Trampoline
15.Hexi bugs
16.Paper jam microphone
17. drawing book(teaching you how to draw)
18.boxing gear
19.Just Dance kids 2
20. clip on earrings
21. sparkly shoes.

After I read the list I knew I had to give Mimi the speech about giving and receiving. We talked about Santa , the spirit of giving and I showed her several websites where we can be like Santa and give to families who really are in need. Jiejie thought I was being a drag, but Mimi got the message.The list has been pared down.
