A Corri Funny...Christmas Related!

So, this is our first holiday season in our new home (we moved in June), and its the first time Corri has ever had a chimney/fireplace. So, at dinner a few nights ago, Corri randomly goes:

"So, I know we don't celebrate Christmas cause we are Jewish, but since we have a chimney and fireplace now, Santa could still come visit, right?"

DH and I freaking died laughing! Leave it to my kid to find a loophole for Santa!

Sweet girl. So magical for little ones. I know you said that you don't celebrate but will you guys do anything special for her?

H and I take boots and dip them in baking soda and glitter and make tracks on the floor leading out of the fireplace. I think he gets more excited about  that then the actual gifts.

Well, we celebrate Hanukkah, so we'll light the candles for 8 nights and she'll get a present each night. Plus, Santa is coming to visit her pre-k class, and we usually pull up the Santa tracker on the NORAD website for her to see, so she gets a Santa fix. I have no issues going to see Santa in the mall either, but I can't have her thinking he comes down Jewish kids' chimneys, lol!

Santa better not leave that glitter crap when he visits next month! Amiright, @Rmnam1‌?

It's just a dash @chiboo9‌
I, too, am a loather of glitter.

It's a super duper cute idea, though! But I'd be nervous that it'd be DH who will think Santa really was there...
