Christmas Spirit

I let the kids open a present before school this morning. They were so excited to have something new to wear to their Christmas parties.

After opening his present, Coda got all excited and said he had one for me. He handed me a brown paper bag that was light as a feather and stapled shut. "It's empty!" I said before I even opened it.

"Open it all the way!" he told me.

I ripped the top off and looked inside the empty bag. "I can't believe you gave me an empty bag!?"

Coda got a smile on his face and said through laughter "It's full of Christmas spirit!"

So. Stinking. Cute.

Then I told him he needed to do that to Dad. He's response: "Yeah, because Dad is a grinch and needs some Christmas spirit!" (Surprisingly, Justin has been singing or whistling Christmas songs for the last week! Shocker!)
