Merry Christmas!

I hope you had (are still having!) a fantastic holiday with your loved ones. My family is a bit spread out this holiday:

Hi Mom and Dad in New Zealand!

Hi Erik and Cherris in San Diego!

And, hi from me and Chris in Bellingham! 

Whomever you celebrated with today, I hope you had a fantastic day filled with a lot of laughter and joy. We spent the day with my in-laws and were so excited to see that Santa had written little Annamarie (that's my very young sister-in-law's name) a note. I've copied her note as well as Santa's response below:


Dear Santa,


For Christmas I would like a huge pack of gel pans and a CD player. Is it true that if people don't believe in you that they will get reindeer poop? Please write me on the back. Please. 


Thank you,


Annamarie




Dear Ana,


Thank you for the shortbread and candy cane. The reindeer also liked your treat - very thoughtful. I'm sorry you didn't visit me this year, however, because your request is very late.


People who don't believe get a life without mystery for Christmas. Reindeer poop is rare.


Merry Christmas,


Santa
