Ummm....because.....ummmm....

Jacob, Joseph and I went to the mall Monday to ride the carousel and do a little shopping. Little did I know Santa Claus was going to be there! Jacob was thrilled and stood still to see if Santa would glance his way to see him staring in awe. Joseph didn't seem to mind watching his big brother's reaction to the man in the red suit. Promising to come back and see the jolly fella up close and personal, I finally convinced Jacob to head back in the car.

In the car, Jacob created an awkward moment of silence.
It was here that Jacob asked, "Momma, is Santa Claus watching me all the time to see if I'm being a good boy?
Without hesitation, I replied, "Of course."
"Is there more than one Santa?"
"No, just one."
Then it happened...
"Well how can he be watching me from up at the North Pole when I just saw him in the mall with all of those children? How can he be here and at the North Pole at the same time?"

Really?
Really, five year old?

"Ummmm......because.....ummmmm....because.... of Christmas magic."
