I came home tonight to teach CJ who Santa is.

I think it went surprisingly well.

Rather than being a scary weird man with questionable dress sense, Santa is now a jolly man who brings presents.

By the end of the conversation CJ has decided he wanted to be on the ‘good boy’ list and get presents, not naughty and get coal. He knew to be good he had to eat his dinner.

I think it was easier to explain than I had expected as he vividly remembers what his letter to Santa asked for (a scooter and helmet). Knowing what presents are potentially up for grabs clearly focused the mind somewhat.

And then as a reward, it was onto hunting for the number 3’s on the advent calendars.
