Conversation with Eli

The other day in the car, Eli was talking about Santa.  He is so ready for Christmas.  How do you explain to a 4 year old that Christmas is very far away?  Well, we were talking about Santa and how he was really tired and needed a break.  I said that Santa was on vacation.  Eli said, "Oh a vacation!  Is Santa going to China to get a baby too?"  I guess we have been talking about China and summer vacation a lot.  :)
