Santa will be with us another year....at least
Reed has been asking for a 2nd dog for several Christmases now. This year was no exception.
This year he also began hinting that since I don't want another dog and he never gets a dog that maybe Santa is not real and "Mom and Dad" are really Santa.
A bit of a bummer thinking that Santa could be forgotten after this year. Maybe putting Santa behind you is one of the stages of growing up in middle class America.
A few times in the last few weeks before Christmas, Reed would muse aloud about how he couldn't get another dog for Christmas and I didn't want another dog. Interesting coincidence...
Santa doesn't bring animals, I'd say. Only inanimate objects. Reed would then cite references --friends who received pets from Santa.
On Christmas eve as we were headed to bed Reed's eyes suddenly wend wide with panic,
" Dad, we forgot to leave out cookies and milk for Santa!"
"No problem, I got it."
Reed, as I headed down the stairs, "Don't forget carrots for the reindeer too."
"OK!"
I smiled and put out the plate.

Sweet Hunter
Got in late from shooting a wedding last night...everyone was long asleep. At 7:15 AM Hunter comes in the bedroom excited to see I am home and wants to snuggle with Dadda...Reed is on the PC downstairs playing Minecraft. Finally Reed wants some company and comes upstairs for Hunter. Hunter climbs out of the bed, pulls the covers back up to my chin, and gives me a kiss on the cheek before heading downstairs.
