The other day after school as we were pulling into our driveway, the following conversation took place between P1 and myself:
P1: Daddy, how does Santa go down our chimney because it has a fan blocking it?
Me: (Looking up at our chimney with the vent/fan sticking out of the top of it.) Well, I'm going to let you in on a little secret that only a few people know. You remember that book 'The Night Before Christmas?' You know, 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...."
P1: uh-huh.
Me: Well in that story it tells you how he goes up the chimney, and that's the same way he goes down the chimney too sometimes. Remember that part that says "And laying a finger on the side of his nose, up the chimney St. Nicholas rose." It's magic.
P1: Is that the magic word? "Nicholas Rose?"
Of course I explained it to her, but THAT made my night!
