I have never been overly on top of Christmas list. I am of the opinion it sets up expectations that might not be able to be met. And as much as I love giving Christmas presents, I have always been concerned about putting too much emphasis on the receiving of gifts.
When The Man was three, he asked for something to write on because he wanted to let Santa know what he wanted for Christmas. I handed him a post it and told him we would put it on the fireplace.
This is what he wrote.
The only item on his list.
Did he get it? Why most certainly yes!
That was the year that he was into ties. This is him, later Christmas day, proudly wearing that tie left in his stocking. Everytime he wore a tie, and still today, I think of that sweet post it and the simple but excited request of a three year old years ago.
So this was one of our Phun Photo times . . . check out more phriday phun photos at Candid Candie's!Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, the joy that you give to others, is the joy that comes back to you. John Greenleaf Whittier

Happy Friday!
Love the note. So precious. And that quote is so true.
That is way cute. I love the innocence of the children. I had a similar letter to the tooth fairy once.
I was thinking he wants an "atle"..is this an American thing? Is it an antler? An Atlas? You had me in suspense or rather he did! Lovely photo and story.
How sweet!
How adorable, I can just see his face as he places that little post it on the mantle. Memories like that are never forgotten.
So sweet!
