Ella, age 6: “Mom, do you know about Saint Nicholas?”
Mom: “Yes.”
Ella: “Saint Nicholas was Santa Claus. He gave presents to people. He was a saint.”
Mom: “That’s right.”
Ella: “And Saint Nicholas is dead. That means Santa is dead. That means there isn’t any Santa Claus.”
Mom: “Then where do all your presents on Christmas morning come from?”
Ella: “Your grandparent go out at night and buy all the presents and wrap them and that’s that.”
So at least her dad & I are not responsible this year.
