What My Nephew Learned about Santa

I've been spending the holidays with my brother Jerick, his wife Liz and my nephew Aidan in Buena Park, California. Aidan is three years old, and this is the first Christmas that he was made aware of the "existence" of Santa Claus. His teachers at his pre-school gave him a cookie to leave for Santa when he came by to drop off his toys under the Christmas tree. Aidan wanted to taste the cookie, but we convinced him to leave it untouched for Jolly Old St. Nick, beside a glass of milk. On Christmas morning, he rushed out of his room but instead of checking for presents under the tree, he went straight to check the plate where the cookie was. "Santa finished the cookie," he said, greatly disappointed. "He didn't share."

  2. Sino nga ba naman kasi ang umubos ng cookie?!?! Di man lang nagtira para sa bata, hahaha!!! :)

    Jerick, Liz, Aidan, and Gidge, we REALLY miss you guys. Christmas was fun and all (our first merry married Christmas) but we couldn't help but long for your company.
