Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 wow, Reb, that is tremendous! What a good little boy! 's 2 year old nephew, Mikko, was showing a real humble attitude about the Christmas gifts this year. In Sweden Christmas gifts are opened during the afternoon or evening of Christmas Eve, usually after that gigantic Christmas smorgasbord, in fact Christmas Eve is when Christmas is celebrated in Sweden, Christmas Day is more like the day after Christmas. And the Santa* is not coming down the chimney during the night, but is let in through the door and is delivering the presents directly (usually one of the adults in the family is dressed up as Santa/tomte, or someone in the neighborhood, this year it was who was Santa). Or at least handing them out, they'll be placed under the Christmas tree before that. Anyway. During the day Mikko's father was teasing him (jokingly): "What if I take all the gifts myself! Then there'll be nothing left for you!" Mikko just calmly replied: "There are so many gifts under the tree, there is plenty for everyone. In fact, if everyone take all the gifts they want, there'll still be gifts left for me." And then during the Santa visit, when perhaps a third of the presents had been handed out, Mikko said: "Could you please tell the Santa for me that he has given me enough gifts now, he should take the rest of my gifts with him and give to some other children" Now, that's a boy with not much greed in him... love /Reb * in Swedish: tomte, which is not really the same as Santa Claus, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomte I'll call the tomte Santa in English though.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 How precious, Reb! I am blown away by the fact that this wee one is only 2 and can express himself verbally so well. It seems by Mikko and Pixie, that language is very advanced for those so young. That sentence came out so backwards, but I think you might know what I mean. lol. Talking about language is making me twist mine. rofl.Enjoy these little ones. Thank you for sharing these stories....hey, how about a picture of in her Santa outfit? Would love to see it!love to you both, Kate 's 2 year old nephew, Mikko, was showing a real humble attitude about the Christmas gifts this year.
