Today during Bible time we read the story of God sending manna to the Israelites in the wilderness. This led to a discussion of contentment... "Do we need more cars?" I asked Cooper. "Yes!" he replied. I responded with, "No, we have enough. We need to be content with what we have." Because I am a people pleaser not wanting my children to be disappointed, I did add that we do get presents sometimes and that is nice, but we have everything we need. Cooper piped up, to the best of my memory, with "Yes, at Christmas God makes the presents and Santa Claus wraps them and then goes and gets in his helicopter and brings them to us and we open them up and we like them."
Hmmm... I guess we need to keep having Bible time.
(a sidenote: Cooper has really only ever seen Santa Claus at our squadron Christmas parties, where he always arrives in a Search and Rescue helicopter. Sorry, Rudolph, I'm not positive Cooper even knows your name.)
