The Viola Chronicles: Crimmas Edition 2011

[amand_r]

Me: So, are you going to write a letter to Santa?
Viv: Yeah!
Me: What are you going to ask him for? (As Amand-r has no idea what to get Viv for Crimmas)
Viv: A Leapster, ballet shoes, and Piglet.
(This is a problem, as she was getting the Leapster2 for her birthday, and Mum has already got her the ballet shoes and piglet doll)
Me: What else would you like to ask for?
Viv: Hmmmm, nothing.
Me: You don't want anything else?
Viv: Mmmm, no thank you.
Me: ♥ ♥ But what if Santa calls me and says, ″Viola's been so good this year, I want to get her something else"? What else might you want?
Viv: (long-suffering sigh) Let me think about it.


″Do You Hear What I Hear?″ comes on the radio.
Viv: This isn't a Christmas song!
Me: Yes it is.
Viv: It has to say, ″Santa″.
Me: Not all Christmas songs are about Santa. Some of them are about the baby Jesus, because Christmas is his birthday.
Viv: Oh.
Me: So you have Santa songs, and baby Jesus songs.
″Let It Snow″ comes on.
Viv: Is this about baby Jesus or Santa?
Me: Uh. Santa.
″Jingle Bells″ comes on.
Viv: Is this about Santa? Or baby Jesus?
Me: I have discovered a loophole in my theory.
Viv: What?
Me: Santa.


″Carol of the Bells″ comes on.
Viv: DING FRIES ARE DONE! DING FRIES ARE DONE!
Me: I love you.
Viv: WOULD YOU LIKE AN APPLE PIE WITH THAT?


Viv: I'll give you a John Reindeer sticker.
Me: What?
Viv: (slaps a tractor sticker on my arm) Here.
Me: That's John Deere.


Viv: Holy whack-a-moley!
Me: I think they're saying, ″Holy Guacamole″.
Viv: No they're not.
Me: Okay.

A kid that doesn't have a mile-long list for Santa...She's totally unique!
If you ever tire of her...she is always welcome to emigrate to Holland!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I hear there's all kinds of fun things to do in Holland!

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

Amsterdam and coffeeshops are definitely overrated...but "de Efteling" is quite good.

I like goofy sightseeing. Daytripping. Not much for touristy places.

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

loads of goofy sightseeing to be done, quirky little villages and cows in meadows..Holland is smal, bur perfectly formed ;-)
And we have cheese, and dropjes (liquorice) and hagelslag (choclate sprinkles to put on your bread)and some wicked alcoholic beverages (though Viv might be slightly too young for that)

DING FRIES ARE DONE! I am glad to see that VStroyer is beginning her quest for World Domination with McDonalds. Sound strategy!

And she's totally right. It SHOULD be John Reindeere.

She is so awesome. But I do hope you think of something to get her. I mean, I hope Santa does.

From now on I will say Holey Whack-a-moley.

Ha! My kids aren't allowed to watch Family Guy, but yeah, they sing the 'ding fries are done' song too. :D

My kids also had very short lists for Santa. Sadly, they featured Quads and iPad 2's.

Ya wanna maybe put something in there THAT YOU HAVE A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL OF GETTING???

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahahah i taught her that song because I am a bad person. I forgot Family Guy covered it!
