This year, now that Lydia and Lex are a bit older, the children are hearing the lyrics of they're favorite Christmas songs with a new understanding. It's been an absolute pleasure listening to their insights and when I say pleasure I mean, it's been hilarious.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause:
Lydia- OH. MY. GOODNESS! She's cheating on her husband with Santa! This is terrible and inappropriate! This isn't Christmasy at all!
We Wish You a Merry Christmas:
Lex- These people are greedy and selfish. I don't like this song anymore.
Santa Baby:
Lydia- Gees! She's flirting with Santa to get stuff!
Do They Know It's Christmas:
Both- Turn this one off!
Lydia- It's condescending.
So what have we learned here?
1. Santa is a player.
2. Christmas time is the season for giving not demanding a really gross bread pudding.
2. Don't tell Lydia what to do or how to feel. She'll rebel.
