Here Comes Santa!

We didn't make it to Santa's Grotto this year. We had thought about it, but just didn't have time right before Christmas. But in the end we didn't need to go... because Santa came to visit us!

After cooking a major feast for Christmas, Da Da transformed into Santa, with the costume carefully placed in the kitchen earlier. But things didn't go as smoothly as planned: Santa Da Da pressed the door bell and came in with his "Ho, Ho, Ho". But when it was time to hand Matty a present, Santa Da Da realised his sack was empty!! I had secretly placed the present in the kitchen earlier but never had time to put it in the sack, and I guess Santa Da Da was in such a hurry that he never had time to check either. But I guess that made Matty's first encounter with "Santa" even more memorable for everyone! I had to distract Matty to give us time to place the present back in the sack Heres a video of what actually happened:





From the look of excitement on Matty's face, it was all worth it. Matty sure did look convinced that Santa went to visit him. Thats what everyone thought too until Matty said "Da Da pretend to be Santa, so funny!" And this is what happened next:





So did we tell Matty the truth, that Da Da was Santa? Nope. We insisted that Da Da was not Santa. Some things are just better left untold.
