More Christmas memories
Dec. 25th, 2006 07:45 pmTwo nights ago in the middle of the night Sebastian suddenly called, loudly, from his room.
"Dad!"
"What is it, baby boy?" I answered, jumping out of bed and running to his room.
"You didn't read me a story."
"Yes I did! I read you two Frog and Toad stories, when Toad lost a button, and when Frog and Toad went swimming."
Then I recapped the stories for him from memory in the dark. Before long he was asleep again.
Several hours later, at perhaps 3 or 4 AM, he came over to our bed and crawled in at the foot of it. After a while, he suddenly started singing - fairly loudly - "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". He doesn't really know the words that well, so his version was filled with made-up lyrics. It was quite funny.
Sebastian still hadn't had his letter from Santa read to him by this afternoon, so I picked it up and read it to him.
"Dear Billy: You're getting extra presents this year, because I'm giving you some of the toys that would have been going to a naughty boy named Sebastian - "
At that point I cracked up from the thunderous scowl on Sebastian's face. I immediately admitted that I was joking. "That's NOT FUNNY!" he replied.
