Scary Christmas?

Scary Christmas? When you are two years old the traditions of Christmas can be a little scary. I know of a few adults that, even today, climb up the wall or head for the nearest exit when they hear Santa's Sleigh bells. I, myself, found visiting Santa at Aurbach's when I was a child very displeasing.

In our house we have a Shelf Elf. He sits on the mantle over the fire place and watches you. He tells Santa about all the good things he sees and at night he moves to new places in the house to watch the children. When you're four years old and find the shelf elf has moved during the night, it is very exciting! But when you're two, the thought of a decoration, that should just stay put, moving about the house is a little upsetting. It makes me wonder what Tim Burton's parents did to him.

It's ok to be nervous around Santa and if his bells just happen to startle you, that's ok too. It just takes some people longer than others to outgrow it.
