Suckered by Santa

Hubby and I grew up believing in Santa, and have lived to tell about it. We both grew up in Christian homes, and don't feel it caused a spiritual demise. However, as of now, we haven't taught Son1 about Santa. Clearly, he knows the man in the red suit. He is in most stores. But that is the extent of it. We see him as pretend and make believe. And Son1 makes believe a lot of other stuff, anyway. We don't teach him Santa is real. We won't say that if he has been good Santa will bring him toys. We won't tell him that Santa knows whether he has been naughty or nice. Omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence is reserved for God.

That being said...



I saw these little wind up toys at Wal Mart. I bought just one helicopter and and plane to start for $2.00 each. Son1 went nuts over these things. They provided hours upon hours of entertainment for a couple of days. Then I started wondering why I didn't pick up the snow mobile and choo choo train. So my mom and I scoured two Wal Marts, looked inbetween nooks and crannies and under shelves to find random wind ups. Some will go to friends at preschool. I WISH I would have gotten the choo choo train wind ups. But they are sold out. The smoke stack goes up and down. All of the wind ups turn in different directions, too. NOW...if anyone sees choo choos like these at their Wal Mart...can you PLEASE buy me two choo choos, and we can settle up later?
