Christmas 2011

From the first present to the last present, Christmas lasted over two weeks for Samson. For a family that doesn't celebrate Santa Claus, we met him twice this Christmas. I'm probably the only parent in the state that told her kid that Santa was not real. But I let him celebrate with the other island kids and accept a present. I guess that makes me somewhat of a hypocrite.

Santa drove around the island giving away gifts.
