Presents

We got a tree a couple of weeks before Christmas, and Eddie helped decorate it. He thought it was missing a very important piece, though: presents underneath! He asked about the presents many times. We told him that the presents would come on Christmas day, but he thought that presents are an essential part of the Christmas tree, and that a tree without its presents is incomplete, even pointless.

After several days of expressing this point of view, we had failed to take action, so finally Eddie had to take matters into his own hands. He obtained one of Papa's socks, "wrapped" several crayons in it, and put it under the tree. Then he let us know that he'd wrapped a present.

  1. That looks like one Basic's sock toys under the tree. Did she sneak off to accompany Santa on his deliveries?

    1. Silly Anonymous, OTHER presents would be there if Basic went with Santa! Luckily, she didn't - or everyone would have soggy presents.

  2. As I do with book, I only looked at the picture, didn't read the words. Clever and generous boy! Glad to see that he's moved by the spirit of giving, rather than just receiving.
