Tea with Mrs. Claus

Mrs. Claus came into town to have tea with a bunch of lucky children. After some yummy cookies and hot chocolate and her reading some Christmas stories to the kids, she opened the floor for questions. Billy and JJ led the way with some very probing inquiries....

JJ? - Why is Santa Magic
A- That is too hard for me to explain right now.

Billy ? - Where was Santa born?
A- In the North Pole Area

JJ?- Who is the best elf?
A- The doll makers do the best she thinks...and an Elf nammed Shorty (who is actualy very tall) is the biggest slacker!

Billy? - Does Santa have GPS?
A- No, she does not think so!

JJ? - Does Santa give you any presents?
A- Yes, he gave her the socks she was wearing

Billy? - What is the name of the newest Reindeer at the North Pole?
A- She does not know..she stays away from the reindeer stable because it is stinky! But, an interesting fact is all the famous reindeer in the song are now retired and live a good life eating hay all winter long!

Billy? - Were you famous on the plane when you rode here?
A- Nobody seemed to notice her!

Mrs. Claus picked both boys out of the crowd for different reasons....JJ because of how well he was sitting and listening to the stories and his good manners and Billy for all of his great questions...she remembered them both from last year, and wondered if Billy spent he whole year developing his list of questions for her! I think if she reports back to Santa, it will be a great report on both of them. For Real!

A letter to Santa...

Dear Santa -

I hope you have enough time to make my toys. I rally am happy you bring us these toys. Your wife, Mrs. Claus is very nice. I really liked her cookies. Now I am going to tell you what I want (look on the back of my letter too!)
-BB gun
-Soda Machine
-New ipod
-Red Bull
-Monster drink
-Wii games

But what I want most is a DOG and it's supplies! I have permission from my mom. I hope this is not too much to ask you. If you cannot get me these things (I know you probably cannot bring them all) that's fine and you can bring me something else.

From: Billy

PS- Do you know what people are thinking?

Dear Santa

Dear Santa-

I love you Santa Claus. Mrs. Claus is so nice, I met her twice! This is what I would like for Christmas:

-A Cream Soda machine
-A Water park in my backyard with a slide so high it goes up into outer space.
-An action figure of you so I know what you look like.
-A Root Beer Machine
-A room on top of me and Billy's room that has an amusement park and a gym with a bunch of mats you can stack and jump off of.
-A new Wii game with Santa Claus in it
-An Ice Cream Shop

I love You-
JJ

PS - I hope the elves do not freak out about this list because I know they can build all of these things for me...if they just try!

A funny Billiy and JJ Antedote!

The above picture was one of 5 on our Christmas Card for the year which is background to this story.

We have a set of friends that we typically see through the summer and then again on breaks. The mom is in Minnie's book club - and she has two boys of similar age and activity level as Billy and JJ. But, they go to different schools on different schedules so during the school year we are not as in contact as much. So lucky us when we were able to meet them last week to Roller Skate (Billy and JJ's new favorite hobby, by the way). And, we heard this story.

When the youngest boy opened our Christmas card, he went running to his mom, pointing at this picture and said, "Hey mom, look...Billy and JJ like each other now!" I guess he just remember the times over the summer when they argued, and not all the lovey dovey times!

But, we have proof on this blog...Billy and JJ not only like each other - but they have fabulous adventures together (that sometime involve a difference of opinion!)
