(Note: the kids just got home from their dad’s, so we did Christmas Eve last night.)
Liam: “So, what time is metaphorical Santa coming, tonight?”
Xavier: “And why did we decide he’s coming back 5 days late?”
Liam: “Rehab.”

Liam: “So, what time is metaphorical Santa coming, tonight?”
Xavier: “And why did we decide he’s coming back 5 days late?”
Liam: “Rehab.”
Me: “I really need some Christmas pencils.”
Student: “You should just ask Santa.”
Me: “That probably wouldn’t work because I’m permanently on the naughty list for an incident in ought-eight.”
Student: …..
Liam: (whispering) “Hey…Xavier.”
Xavier: “What?”
Liam: “Santa isn’t the only one who knows when you are sleeping.”
Xavier: …
Liam: “How does the Irish Santa look different from ours?”
Me: (mumbling) “He’s carrying a beer, and he’s drunk.”
Liam: “What?”
Me: “He’s wearing green instead of red.”
(While on the NORAD Santa tracker)
Liam: “Why is Santa spending so much time in Canada!?”
Caolinn: “Because he has to stop at every friggin’ house…because they’re all so damn nice.”
Me: “Hey! Settle down back there and leave your brother alone! Santa is watching!”
Xavier: “Pffffft. Mom, that’s not going to work, anymore.”
Me: “Why not?”
Xavier: “You know why!”
Me: “Xav…Santa is WATCHING.”
Xavier: “But you’re Santa.”
Me: “Think about it.”
Xavier: “Ohhhhhh….”
Liam: “Therrrre we go.”
