Every year one of our friends has Santa come to her house but this year Santa was too busy so he had to cancel. When we told Taylor she broke down and cried so we promised to take everyone to the mall because he would be working there until Christmas. She finally accepted our offer but she still wasn't too happy. As we were tucking her in bed she asked, "why is Santa working at the mall in the Arizona? What about all the other kids in the world? Shouldn't he be at the north pole getting ready for Christmas?" We fumbled our way through some lame excuses that seemed to satisfy her. Needless to say, she is way too smart for her age and we are afraid this will be the last Christmas she believes in the fat man. Bummer.
BTW the stuffed elephant Taylor is holding is "Teeny" the kindergarten class elephant. It was her day to take care of him.
