Last night, we braved the rain to go see the first appearance of Santa at Short Pump! There was live Christmas music for about 30 minutes, a parade of Christmas characters, then Santa arrived on the train. He even shook hands with Joaquin! But the joyous night did not end like that....can you believe they said, "I thought we were going to have movie night!" when we got home at 8pm! So instead of, "Thanks for taking us to see Santa", we got crying and screaming about movie night. Although my initial reaction was unbelief that my own children could be ungrateful, I know that I must try to model the right behavior, and perhaps I, myself, have been ungrateful. It is amazing how much our own children can teach us!
