Santa Claus is coming to town

Aria got to meet Santa Claus for the first time yesterday. She didn't scream or cry or even smile. She really didn't do much of anything. But we got the free picture after waiting in NO line.  I'd say it was a pretty good first experience for both parent and child.  And then today I brought the Christmas CDs in from the car and started listening to them while cleaning the house.  It is honestly the first day I've really felt any sort of Christmasy.  Even though the tree has been up for nearly a month now, and the Christmas lights turn on every evening outside, I've just felt rather Grinch-like this year.  Who knew I just needed a dose of Mannheim Steamroller?  Maybe I will bake some cookies.
