Kid's sleeping on mattresses in the parent's room

E with Santa

So one thing I pride myself on is telling the truth. I don’t lie. Anymore. Not since the lying incident of 2002. But I want to give my children Santa Claus. I DO give my children Santa. And I think about the letter to Virginia and how Santa embodies the SPIRIT of christmas. GETTING STUFF. [...]

Every time my son rounds this corner, he says: OH MY GOSH!: (First of all, my son says: GOSH!
