Lifes Like That

My two youngest children are so confused.  All week long that have heard an ad on the radio of a company advertising their “Christmas in July” special.  The kids want to know why this company thinks it’s Christmas time when it’s only July.  I tried to explain to them that this was just a promotional gimmick, but I don’t think they completely understand this line of thinking.  You and I know that there is still five months before the big guy arrives, but with all the advertising on the radio the kids are having an extremely difficult time keeping this in mind.  They want to know why they are receiving presents if it is indeed Christmas in July.

So, to make them understand this more clearly, I have decided to let them write a note to Santa so he can answer all their questions.  They don’t seem to believe me but I bet they will believe him!
