It is hard for a three-year-old to let go of Christmas after the holidays. Max has asked me, every few days, if we could set out cookies for Santa again.
"No, Santa only comes on December 24th, Christmas Eve."
"Why?" (Max has definitely entered the "why" stage)
Today he wanted to play with the little baby Jesus from his nativity set (which was packed away in a trunk)--how can you say no to that?! He ALWAYS gets to play with Baby Jesus on request. He also wanted to pretend that he was Santa (i.e. I had to set out a plate of cookies for him). Fortunately, he was satisfied with pretending that some pretzels on a plate were the plate of cookies.
