Coming to terms . . .

 Zane is beginning to analyze the specifics of Santa, just a little deeper than ever before. This year he's been worrying about whether or not he's been too naughty. When considering his note to Santa he said "I've been really naughty, Mom. Does Santa really give coal? Does he just dig it out of the fireplace and chimney and put it in your stocking . . .? Or does he have piles of it cause of kids' that don't have fireplaces. . . ?" I suggested he write his note to Santa about his naughtiness.

We got it in the mail just in time! Zane's excited to see when the elves come to get the mailbox, knowing Santa has a ton of helpers who report to him. Zane wants to be an elf when he grows up. "It would be fun to work for Santa!"
