{do you believe?}

hello!

i really wanted to start off the new year blogging about something positive. so here goes...

O is home!!

here is the negative...

see that cute little boy above right there? he spent his winter vacation with the other part of his family. they went on train ride to see the man in the big red suit and tell him what he wanted for Christmas.

and what did that man in the big red suit bring that cute little boy who is on the verge of not believing in the man in the big red suit?

a magic pen and a box of laffy taffy. none of which were requested.

and yesterday, at his welcome home barbeque with some of his friends and their families, he discovered that all the other kids received what had been requested.

don't get me wrong folks... i know what the season is all about. but you try explaining to a 9 year old, who is on the verge of writing the man in the big red suit off, why everyone else got what they asked for and he did not.

break. my. heart.

i think i am going to have a chat with the man in the big red suit up at the north pole. i think he may need to send a letter of apology along with a few somethings for this young lad.

O, i hope you never stop believing in the man in the big red suit. but if you have, i really don't blame you.
