I love this time of year with little children. They still (for the most part) believe in Santa.

I had the following conversation with a 2nd grade girl today.

Girl: "I know Santa's favorite cookie."
Me: "Oh, really?"
Girl: "Yep, he likes sugar cookies. I know `cuz he wrote me a letter."
Me: "Oh?"
Girl: "Yeah. My cousin has a piece of his suit. He tore it on the fireplace and my other cousin, she has a bell from Santa's sleigh. That's all I want for Christmas this year, a bell from Santa's sleigh."
Me: "Well, make sure you put that in your letter, so he knows. You must be pretty special to have gotten a letter from Santa."

Ahhh, the magic of Christmas.

Oh, and I found this site today. Go check and see if you're on the Naughty or Nice list. It was actually surprising accurate.
