A Holly Jolly Clark

Have you ever seen that scene in the movie Elf, when Will Ferrel playing Buddy the Elf is so excited to see Santa and he screams "Santa!" Well, meet Clark, our mini Buddy the Elf. He was our Captain of Christmas Cheer this year, our Holiday Cheer-mister (haha, he also really loved The Grinch movie). He was all about everything Christmas. Christmas movies and cartoons all day, Christmas songs and books. Every time we passed any sort of wintery/Christmas decoration he would say "ho ho ho". Imagine driving down the street looking at Christmas lights, with a chorus of ho ho ho's from Clark in the back seat, it was precious. Anytime was saw a Santa picture, or anything resembling a fat chubby man dressed in red and white, he would squeal with excitement "SANTA!" He was in total awe when we finally met Santa at the mall. He eyes were wide with wonder and he was totally speechless. We must've watch Disney's new Prep and Landing movie a million times, and The Polar Express. He can sing almost all the words to Santa Clause Is Coming To Town (even though it is really hard to understand), I think it is his favorite Christmas song.

It has been so fun sharing the holiday season with him this year, a true delight. I am going to miss hearing him say ho ho ho all the time, and watching Christmas shows. Is it too soon to say I can't wait until next year???
