Fake Santa

Our local library hosted a Story Time with Santa event on Saturday. I decided, after a little over a year of not going to library events*, to take Jakey and Ally to see Santa.

*The reason why we have not gone to library events is Jacob, of course. He is too wild and cannot sit still or keep out of trouble. I intend not to be banned from the library for the rest of our lives, and so I decided that we do not give them a reason to kick us out at events.

Ally, being 9 3/4 years old, did not want to go see Santa.

"It's not even the real Santa," she said.

Ally thought it was a waste of time to go see a fake Santa and that seeing a fake Santa is for babies.



John just shook his head; Ally is in for a big surprise soon enough.

I am glad, however, that Ally still believes. I thought for sure that last year was the last year for her to believe in Santa. So far, it looks like we’ll get another year that she believes.
