Make Me Laugh Monday – Santa & preschool parties

“I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause…” EWWW! Not so much! I don’t care WHO is under that beard and bright-red suit…. No. Just… NO. My kids are creeped-out by the thought of it too. What can I say, I raise smart kids. 

Lucy’s preschool Christmas party was yesterday. Every year (all my kids have gone to this preschool) Santa comes to deliver little gifts to the children. Usually Santa is our teacher’s husband, but this year it was a student’s grandfather. This detail is important for later.

Each year, Mrs. Cindy has the children prepare songs to perform for the parents. It truly is delightful. I remember the first year with my son when “J’s” jingle bells sailed across the preschool for all the jingle-bell passion and heart he put into his choreography. This year… My sweet Lucy… At first I thought it was adorable, all her chicken-bock-bock-bocking and twirling and passion, and singing to her classmates instead of to the parents. “Oh, she’s so social!” I thought.

THEN as she continued, I began to freak out a bit. I wondered if she was exhibiting signs of certain health issues. This is not the funny part. I was actually a bit freaked. People, my daughter was acting WEIRD. I wish I could show video, but for her online protection and protection of the other kiddos, I regret I cannot It is pee-your-pants funny as well as A-to-the-dorable.

Back to the party — At one point, I overheard a friend say, “She’s gone. She’s gone…” I took it as. “She (a preschooler) escaped the property, we must form a search party!”. No. Apparently sweet little “E” was in her car with a tummy ache – because she was afraid of SANTA!

After the performance, the children and parents waited for Santa’s arrival. Santa hadn’t even made it through the door when “B’s” face dropped. It was like she had seen a ghost. She began to cry and ran to her mother saying, “I don’t like Santa!!!”.

I am happy to report, Santa’s feelings were not hurt in all of this — and as far as I know “B” and “E” are doing just fine. I am thinking Santa is doing just fine to, because the last I heard about him was when the preschool teacher’s husband said,

I am going to go help Santa get undressed.
