We found Ali today hiding behind the couch holding Seamus' Advent calendar with all the doors pried wide open and the chocolate treasures MIA. Alistair had eaten every single chocolate, even the extra special one for Christmas Eve. Ali knew this put him on Santa's naughty list. He looked up at Seamus with the pillaged calendar in one hand and chocolate smeared all over his face and said, "Ne fait pas ca!" then "Only one per day!" To Seamus' credit, he took the whole thing in stride. He looked from Alistair to me. "We'll get you a new one," I told him. "Yup," he answered. And that was it.
After school we headed to the store where obviously they are no longer stocking Advent calendars but luckily Seamus was satisfied with a fancy box of chocolates. He will get to pick one per day. The most important thing on his mind though is how to keep his new box of treasures out of Alistair's thieving hands. Good grief. Ali is for sure getting coal from Santa this year.
