1/25/2008 After Christmas, Alex started pretending to be Santa. He had a blue and white hat that was crocheted for him when he was a baby. He wears the hat, or alternatively stuffs it full of small toys. He then very precisely positions his stuffed horse (whose name is usually Scarlet except when Alex is Santa, then the horse is called Rudolph) and other horse toys in front of the sofa or a line of chairs. He then shouts "Ho, Ho, Ho, MER-RY Christmas," and gets off and on his couch sleigh delivering toys or repositioning his reindeer. I knitted him a santa hat to wear so he can use his other hat as his sack.
