Is it Christmas Yet? How About Now?
Hooray! Am I seeing things, or does this sign have my name on it? And what does it say? Is it good news? Does it mean I get lots of presents and sweets and goodies? I hope so! What’s this sparkly tree for?
Oh, my goodness- it’s almost Christmas? Is that what all this fuss is about? How will we know when it’s really time for all the presents and delicious food?
Can I just keep putting the little people on the wreath so it will be the 25th already?
Oh, Christmas tree! Is this tree just for me? If not, why is it just my size? And what’s a Tannebaum, anyway?
Which town? Will he come to every town, or just mine? When will he be here? Is it too late to get him my list of presents? How will he know where to put them? Will he know I’m out of town traveling? Will he bring presents to my mama and Froggy and Rocky and Scottie and Deckers and Boo and Nay-Nay and all the other Stuffie friends all over the world? What if he runs out of presents?
If Santa comes down chimneys, what happens to those of us who only have a pretend fireplace? How will he get in here to deliver the presents? Is it too late to make a chimney in this house? Does anybody know how to make a chimney? What will I do if I can’t make a chimney????!!!!
Piggy Santa, do you know something I don’t? Can you put in a word for me with the big guy in the red suit? Are you prepared to step in and help if he needs it?
Are you going to be filled with toys and books and games and oranges and walnuts and candy for little old me? Are all of these stockings for me? If they’re for other friends, do you think they’ll share? How many presents are too many presents? Did that kid wishing for two front teeth get them? What about the hippopotamus? Can I have a hippopotamus for Christmas? Does it have to fit into my stocking?
Hey, I know who you are! Can I get a ride to the North Pole with you to talk to Santa directly? If not, can you put in a good word for me? If I’ve been extra good this year, can I have two hippopotamuses?
How did this snow person get inside? And why aren’t they melting? Will it snow for Christmas? Can I ask for snow for Christmas? How will Santa get snow down the chimney? And will it all melt in my stocking?
Will there be golden light and elves with stacks of presents and a personal visit from Santa at my house? Can I ride in his sleigh? Will it be one-horse-open or flown by reindeer? How come reindeer like carrots, anyway? Isn’t giving Santa cookies and milk like paying him? What if I’m not allowed to use the oven by myself and I can’t bake cookies? Is it time for Christmas yet? How long do we have to wait? Is it actually forever, or does it just feel like it?
