Holiday Spirit

Dexter and his classmates got into the holiday spirit, putting on a fabulous holiday party at school. I was sorry to miss the excitement. Apparently, Dexter asked Santa for a train - he started crying genuine tears that evening and told me that he forgot to tell Santa that he really wanted a puppy dream light for Christmas.  I explained that he didn't need to worry, that we would let Santa know. This suggestion was not specific enough to satisfy him. So I said that he could write a letter to Santa explaining about the dream light. This was not immediate enough. Only when Daddy said that he would have a personal meeting with Santa tomorrow was Dexter able to calm himself down and go to sleep.
