Toltec where is this in writing that SECRET SANTA JB was talking about was from the trash letter?
Was it really signed Secret Santa????
Thanks Tressa
I think the letter in the trash was more like a tag that was addressed to 'friend.' I also think that the tag, or letter, came off of the Santa bear from the pageant. The tags were addressed to 'a friend' since the pageant directors did not know which kid would end up with which bear at the pageant. Addressing the tags in this manner would be a lot easier than making sure that JBR got the bear that said, "to JBR" and that Suzie got the bear that said, "to Suzie," etc. Make sense?
Also, we tell my daughter that Santa will visit Grandma & Grandpa's house
after Christmas, because we celebrate with grandparents after we celebrate at home.
I am always nervous when she and her friends talk about Santa, etc. because traditions are so different from family to family. It is too soon for her to figure the whole thing out yet, so I try to change the subject.
My daughter also wakes up to candy in her shoes on St. Pat's day. We are of Irish descent and the shoe/candy thing has always been a tradition.
However, we are one of only a few families I know who honors this tradition.
I did tell my daughter on at least one occasion to
not talk about the candy thing much in school because she would hurt other kids' feelings if they didn't get candy also. So, I guess I have told her to keep this tradition a 'secret.' I just am not ready for my little girl to learn the truth about leprechauns from a classmate...
The less she talks about it the better.
I am sure the secret Santa visit JBR talked about was pretty much the same thing in the Ramsey house.
