We got a new tree this year during the Black Friday sales. It now feels like Christmas in here :) This is the first year DH and I have had a tree since we got married. It is nice to finally display all of the ornaments we have been collecting for years. DD is loving the tree - the lights, the ornaments, so many fun things to look at.
I made some stockings for us and we decorated the fireplace. As we were setting out the greenery and figurines, I pulled out the stuffed Santa and our Herbie elf and set them on the hearth. DD loves Herbie! She carries him around the house, pressing his hand and listening to him say "I want to be a Dentist!"
However, DD is a bit confused with Santa. I pointed to him and told her his name was Santa. She shook her said, said "No, Papa!" She apparently thinks Santa is my grandfather! Hahaha :) So much for that dilemma about whether or not to play up the tradition of Santa. I am not too worried about denying her some special tradition, especially since most of the world does not believe in Santa. Now I just have to worry about her being the kid that ruins it for others!
