Ho Ho
Elsie talks a big game when it comes to Ho Ho. She wants to see him. She tells us she's gonna ask him for cookies for Christmas. She says she's gonna hug him. She even chased an off-duty Santa through the mall one evening. But then she gets face to face with the big guy and her wide eyes search for her parents in terror and she murmurs "mommy... daddy... mommy... daddy..." behind our knees. She has no problem with Frosty the Snowman, but the guy in red is better in the abstract at this point. We may actually check him out one more time next weekend, but we mostly enjoy him "up on the housetop" in verse, as the potential giver of cookies and a guitar (our xmas wish list items), or in our mind's eye--we talk a big game.

We're a no go on Mr. Ho Ho, too. Bennett waved to him today, but has no interest in getting close.
We'll keep you posted on this weekend...
