Santa 6 - Dad 4
The true story of how Santa won over Dad 6 cookies to 4.
It was the night before Christmas and all through the house wafted the sweet smell of cookies freshly baked.
Two cups of milk and two plates of Faviana's chocolate chip cookies, soft and chewy, were put out.
In one, Faviana put six cookies. In the other, Faviana put four.
Then she labeled her plates. Six go to Santa, four go to Dad.
Faviana then proceeded to tell me why:
"Mommy, Santa works much harder than Daddy. He works everyday all through the year to wrap up presents. Daddy gets days off. So Santa should get six cookies and Daddy should get four!"
Faviana did not forget the hard working reindeer either. She carried around her reindeer bag full of reindeer feed for days. Right before she went to bed, she went outside and sprinkled their food on the lawn.
As Faviana was being tucked into bed, she heard the windchimes. She closed her eyes quickly because she knew Santa was on his way....
P.S. She says she "tricked" her Daddy because she wrapped up a present and put "To: Daddy Love, Santa" under the Christmas tree. She said he wouldn't figure it out even though it was wrapped with the same wrapping paper!
From all of us here, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
