My attempt to explain Santa to a two year old.

Posted on December 24, 2008

Chloe:  Mommy, Sampa Cause coming to Chloe’s house?

Me:  Yes, sweetie, Santa is coming tonight and he’s going to bring you presents because you have been a good girl this year.

Chloe:  Sampa Cause bring Chloe PRESENTS?  I wuv presents.  Big presents, wittle presents.  Wots and wots of presents!

Me:  Yes, but you have to be a good little girl or Santa won’t come.

Chloe:  Where Sampa, is Sampa at work?

Me:  Yes, he’s at work getting ready to bring presents to all the good little boys and girls.  He will deliver them tonight.  And when you wake up you’ll have presents in your stocking.

Chloe:  I want presents NOW!

Me:  Santa only comes when you are sleeping.

Chloe:  Mommy, I take nap now?

Me:  (Laughing quietly, because it is only 10am.)  Not right now honey, its too early.  Besides, Santa only comes at night when you are sleeping.

Chloe:  Then Sampa come to Chloe’s house and get wots and wots of presents!

I think she understands the true meaning of Christmas, don’t you?
