The kids are getting older. That means Santa isn't always easy to believe in. In an effort to keep the magic alive a little longer, I had to get creative.
Our new house doesn't have a fireplace and the kids have been asking since we moved in how Santa would deliver gifts.
I had seen a magic key in a magazine and decided that was the answer. I was on the hunt for an old fashion key that would pass for Santa's.
As I was gathering ornaments, I stumbled across an "official" Santa key. I couldn't resist.
A quick trip to the dollar store, a stop at the post office and a typed letter, I was ready.
The package was ready for the kids to discover in the mailbox.
Sure enough, when the mail was picked up today, their eyes lit up. Even Sophie had a sparkle in her eye.
The kids are so excited for tomorrow nights visit from St. Nick. The key is waiting next to the door, ready to be hung tomorrow night.
I hope this helps to keep the spirit alive for a few more years.
