My FAVORITE Christmas Story...

This photo does not look like much, until you know the story...

Micah was finishing up decorating Christmas cookies for Santa, and I went upstairs to tuck Hannah in and give her a kiss goodnight. I went in and the above scene is what I found...

I said, "Hannah, why are you all covered up by your blanket???"

Hannah: "Mom, the song says that I have to 'cover my head'."

Me: "What song? Sing the song for me."

Hannah: "Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus..."

Me: "That song says to cover your head?"

Hannah: "Yes... Giggling, but very emphatic!"

I laughed, kissed her goodnight, and let her stay under her blanket.

I then went down stairs and googled the lyrics to "Here Comes Santa Claus."

Here they are:

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor
He loves you just the same
Santa Claus knows we're all Gods children
That makes everything right
So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He'll come around when the chimes ring out
That it's Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all
It we just follow the light
So lets give thanks to the lord above
That Santa Claus comes tonight!

Am I the only one who has sang this song their whole life, and never 'really' new the lyrics??? Hannah is sooooooooooo literal, and she was so serious about following the song's instructions and 'covering her head'! I have not laughed this hard in a long time. Leave it to Hannah to make my day GREAT!!!

I will not forget this moment for a LONG TIME!!! :-)
