It appears we may be reaching the last Christmas that Harry “believes” in Santa. This was the first year he questioned if Santa was *real*.

Now as much as it’s a bittersweet sign that my baby’s growing up, it’s almost a relief! I say that because, he’s reaching the age that it’s getting hard to buy for him! “Santa’s” been working her butt off trying to come up with things to get him, and that’s because he’s really not into anything right now other than his XBox, lol. He used to have things he collected, like Disney’s Cars character cars, or the Star Wars HotWheels, so it’s always been fairly easy, but now? He never ever mentions anything that he’d like. I think he’s just actually pretty happy with things he has, which is a good thing really. Maybe (hopefully) a sign that while there are things he’d like to have, he’s cool with his current stuff.

But, I must say I’ll be rather relieved when we can ask him outright what he’d like for Christmas and not gave to go through a “middle-man” so-to-speak, lol. And not have to be stealthy in getting said presents wrapped and under the tree.

I can honestly say I never really fully appreciated just how clever my parents had to be – or how early they to had start! Where we live, there’s a few things my mom could’ve gotten locally, but I know a whole lot more would’ve been out of the Sears Wishbook! And there wasn’t the fast shipping we have now I’m sure! I’m sure my mom/parents were relieved when Santa wasn’t a thing anymore, lol!!

And now, off to Amazon to come up with something…
