December 5th:

Write letters to Santa

Ashton's letter was pretty basic. He always starts out asking how Santa and the wife are. He asks about the elves and the reindeer. Then he gets into the things he wishes for because he's been so good- pajamas, art easel, clay, a couple footballs and matching kilt's for him and his dad. You know, regular ten-year-old stuff.

Lorelei took a different approach. She's been very curious about our elf, Shay, and his "activities." She saw a tag on his booty and commented that it was "suspicious." She asked if we (mom & dad) move Shay when her and Ashton aren't looking. She is also concerned about his welfare;  if Shay really does travel to the North Pole every night to give Santa a behavior report, does somebody feed him? So, she pretty much wrote an interrogation letter to Santa:
Dear Santa, I have been good. Your elf doesn't move or talk. Sometimes he looks like a doll. He looks plastic and he has a tag. Why do they have pointy ears and hats. Why are they so small. Do they have real names. Does Mrs. Claus make the elfs. How do you get different elfs.
And then she left a space for answers. 
(Insert Ricky Ricardo voice here) Santa, you got a lot a splainin' to do...
