Christmas rules

My son Sam, 6, has written up his "Christmas plans."

They work for me.

In order (and with a little spellling corrected), they are:

Be happy.

Be thankful for presents.

Be jolly.

Giving more than getting.

Don't forget to give Santa cookies.

Wear Christmas pajamas.

Try to listen to the reindeers.

Eat your candy cane if you have one.

Decorate for Santa.

Open presents in the morning.

Wear a Christmas smile.

Watch "The Grinch."

GREAT list! I'd add Charlie Brown Christmas to it.

Kate, I love this. It reminds me of the Christmas when our younger son was 5 and the ONLY thing on his Christmas wish list was a silver bell. I later learned that they had read the "Polar Express" at his pre-school, and then it all made sense.
