When we are shopping at the store and the kids whine and beg for every colorful sugary thing they see I just say, "Hmm, well thats not on my grocery list, when we get home we'll have to write that on our list for Santa." And no matter how many times I use this line, it works! They have no concept of how far away Christmas is.
At Winco the other day, after using my Santa excuse several times, as we were checking out Rivka noticed the man in the aisle next to us with a white beard, big belly, and bright red shirt. She was SO excited.
"Mom! Mom! Look! We don't even need to write those things on our list, we can just tell him!"
She couldn't understand why I grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the store and why I couldn't stop laughing.
I wish I would have thought to take a picture with my phone.
