Christmas Reflections from Hannah

Having a somewhat quizzical mind, Hannah is not one to let things go without first analyzing, questioning, or criticizing them. In that spirit, here are some of her thoughts around Christmas:

  • How does Santa get past the glass in front of our fireplace? Excellent query.
  • I don't want Santa to come in my bedroom (after seeing him tiptoe into a sleeping child's room in a movie). I don't blame you, it is a bit creepy.
  • Why did Santa give Jacob presents even though he's bad? Uh oh, this naughty or nice thing isn't going to work next year.
  • I dreamed about the reindeer last night. They were all taking the caps off their noses to see if any of them had a red nose like Rudolph and one did. Just like that, Rudolph is no longer a misfit.  
  • This is not a real Santa (referring to a stuffed toy version). His beard doesn't go all the way around, he's not wearing a belt, and his bag is a backpack not a sack. Inimitable condescension. Who made this toy? It's clearly not an acceptable replica.
  • Please stop singing that, mom. It's not even the right tune. And it's not Christmas anymore. Ouch. But, painfully, true.
