As we are drowning in Christmas everywhere we go, Santa has been on Jacob's mind. He is fascinated by the magic and mystery of this one man with such a big job. He has added a new expectation to his list of magic things he thinks Santa can do...send letters to heaven. With the loss of our dog, Penny, so fresh on his mind, Jacob wrote her a letter, took down his OWN stocking and hung Penny's stocking, with letter in it, so Santa would take the letter to heaven for her. He faithfully checks the stocking every morning before school to see if the letter is sticking out far enough for Santa to see. He is constantly reminding me that we have to bake "good" cookies for Santa this year, because he will be so busy. As if to say that I have baked mediocre cookies every other year...hmmm.
The simple love for his dog, the absolute amazement he has for this magic man, Santa, and his complete change in direction as for his thoughts about Christmas are so awsome to me. He wants to go sit on Santa's lap and ask him "can you really send letter's to heaven?" He has forgotten about the huge list of toys he made and the want for all things that every other kid has.
But in the magic of being 5, he asks me,"since Santa will be so busy, can you buy me heely's?"
I love it!
