Christmas Activities

My sister is an overachiever. I say that affectionately and truthfully. They don’t just go see the lights one night; they go to 7 various lighted parks/church displays/light festivals in a a period of ten days. She lives in the suburbs of Tulsa, so there really are that many big lighted “things” to go see. One night Hudson was sick, so my BIL took my nieces to the one where you get out and walk through the lighted park. They wanted to get a picture of Santa first. Now, neither believes in Santa, even though Annelyn is just five. They were never told Santa was real, but they were told to never reveal that to other kids. They took this to mean not to let the people playing these parts know they aware they aren’t really Santa or his wife. So Annelyn asks them about their kids, and Amyra asked how much their electric bill was. They’re not trying to be sarcastic, they don’t want the adults to know of their unbelief. They’re really sweet, and a little kooky (but so was I). *How much of an overachiever was my sister? She used to make copies of her homework so she could do it twice.
