Before you know it...

ME:  (Singing) He knows when you are sleeping!  He knows when you're awake! He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake! (speaking) I have that song stuck in my head, isn't that silly?

CADENCE:  Yes, it sure is.  Mom, can you sing it again, the whole thing?

ME: Sure!  (singing) You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why.  Santa claus is coming to town.  He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake! He knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness' sake! Oh, frosty...wait...so...santa claus is comin' to town...(speaking) pretty neat, huh?  kinda.  Hm.  What do you think about all that, Cadence?

CADENCE:  Oh, a lot.

ME:  A lot?!  Wow, that's cool...like what?

CADENCE:  Like, how I don't really think Santa is real, but everyone else does.

ME:  Oh really?  What makes you think that?

CADENCE:  I just think that Santa isn't really just one person, I think everyone is santa.  Everyone is really santa, because we all give each other gifts, even if we know. Everyone we know.

ME:  ...I really like your theory, Cadence.
