My son’s Kindergarten class took a field trip to see Santa and ride the Christmas train at the mall yesterday. My son reported back later that he knows that’s not the “real” Santa but he talked to him anyway, just in case he knows the Real Santa.
Here’s what my son told the Mall Santa he wants for Christmas:
[ol]
[li]A Disco Ball[/li][li]Chocolates[/li][li]An Action Figure[/ol][/li]
He wasn’t specific _which_ action figure he wants. Since he’s also mentioned he wants _more_ Ello stuff, I’m thinking it’s Ken from the Swan Lake Barbie collection.
Oh yeah, it’s genetic.

So, you’re saying the “fruit” doesn’t fall far from the tree? 😃
Oh, and while we’re at it:
Dear Santa,
I want **Homebrew** with nothing but a strategically placed red ribbon on him under my tree by Christmas Eve.

Dear Santa,
I want pictures of the scene 5 minutes after \*\* swampbear \*\* finds \*\* Homebrew \*\* under his tree wearing nothing but the strategically placed red ribbon.
What ? A girl has to make a buck any way she can these days. 😛

5 minutes later? I don’t think the red ribbon will be anywhere around by then. Unless **swampy** has some creative uses in mind …
