One Week Untill Santa


How will Santa know to stop at your house and leave presents? You put up lights, like at the airport. Here's our Santa signal:
And yes, that's mostly grass in our yard still, the snow just won't stick this year.

I think all that's left is shipping some remaining presents and baking cookies for neighbors. Speaking of neighbors, my son & I ended up in the neighbor's so he could play with the 3 year old boy across the street. They're very close in age and will end up going to school together, so getting to know each other now seems like a good think. Well, I have discovered that they are a no toy weapons family (no guns or swords). Now my son doesn't have any guns (except the ones the Transformers shoot each other with) but swords, axes and clubs are sort of plentiful in our house. It's hard to avoid with the SCA around. And he's very good about not hurting people and not attacking unarmed people. I'm just wondering how it's going to go when they end up over here playing Power Rangers, Transformers & Ben 10. All kind of violent, but still fun. I guess on the up side, the neighbor's kid spend about half the time at his house using legos to build guns. So, I suppose exposure to swords at our house won't hurt too much.

Finally, who looks angrier in this picture, my son or the elephant:
