A Christmas Wish

Lilly and Santa are not on the best of terms.

And it's not him.

It's her.

Oh, we can read Christmas books and laugh at the antics of jolly ol' St. Nick all day long, but the minute he appears at a Christmas party or shopping excursion jingling his bell and shaking his belly like a bowl full of jelly, Lilly wants nothing to do with him.

In the sense that she usually screams at the top of her lungs and clings to me as if her life depended on it.

So when yet another red-suited fella showed up at our playgroup Christmas party, both of us were less than enthusiastic. Imagine my surprise when she actually mustered up enough courage to shout at him from across the room in her best papa voice, "I want a Christmas tree and a bologna and cheese sandwich for Christmas!!"

What can I say?

The girl loves bologna.
