I know that we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but I have been really trying to get Finn excited about Christmas this year. So, I decided to go ahead and take Finn to get his picture taken with Santa at the mall. The closer you get to Christmas the longer the lines get, and Finn is not known for his patient line waiting.
I was worried that Finn would get scared once we got up there, because he has been going through a scaredy-cat phase. As soon as we got up there Finn quietly said "Hi Santa." I think he was in shock that he was meeting the "real" Santa. He sat on his lap and got his picture taken without a hitch or a smile. Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he told him a bell. I guess Santa is used to more grandiose requests, because he decided to find a jingle bell to give to Finn. Finn was so excited and carries that thing around everywhere singing "Jingle Bells." Finn got his one Christmas wish- a single jingle bell from Santa, just like in the movie "Polar Express." This is very sweet but I can't help but be a little disappointed that I can't hang over his head that he needs to be a good little boy or Santa won't get him anything for Christmas. Oh well.
