One night, just about a week ago, as Daddy was putting Anna to bed, she asked, "Is Mrs. Santa Claus real?".

Daddy replied that he didn't know for sure, but that Santa would probably be pretty lonely without a Mrs. Santa Claus. Anna accepted that answer, but had another question.

"What about Rudolph?"

Daddy said that he wasn't sure that Rudolph was real, since he mainly came from a song that wasn't too old, but that he knows some people who claim to have seen a red light on Christmas eve. To that, Anna had a more interesting response.

"A few years ago, when we were staying at Gigi and Daddy Wayne's for Christmas I stayed up late to hear the reindeer on the roof, and I did! I heard them on the roof!"

This year's newest wonder is an elf that Santa left for Anna and Ben. Anna didn't think about asking for an elf until Christmas Eve and left a note for Santa ... and he left her an elf! The elf has been moving around the house, eating crackers, and causing minor mischief. Mommy and Daddy hope that in the new year he goes back home for a few months.
