Jolly ol' St. Nick

jolly ol' st. nick showed up at our ward Christmas party on saturday. After some singing and a delicious pancake breakfast, he waltzed in with bells ringing and cheering little kids. however, one little girl would have nothing to do with him. megan. she didn't want her picture with him. she didn't want to stand near him. she definitely didn't want to sit on his lap. and she didn't even want to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. i don't think she was necessarily scared of him (although i could be wrong), she just wasn't interested. i told megan and conor that they needed to tell santa what gifts they were hoping for.



conor said that santa didn't ask him what he wanted, which concerned him a bit. another older child in the room reassured him that santa already knows what he wants. megan was right on top of things. she said, "ya, i don't have to tell santa what i want. he already knows." she has only given me requests for her birthday (which is in january). when i ask her what she wants for Christmas she says, "nufing (nothing). it will be a surprise."
