Description: Totally out of my comfort zone here. Think I might need to have a fiddle with the bottom left hand corner.
It was hard to do the journaling for this layout while not giving away that there wasn't really a Santa. What really happened was that I'd turned our city upside down for months looking for a unicorn suit and had given up when in the second week of December I walked into a department store very near us and noticed what looked like a mane sticking out of the dressup clothing rack. AND it was on sale!
Early 2005 Zoe announced that she was going to ask Santa for a unicorn suit. Plenty of time for her to change her mind , or so I thought. By October she was still adamant that Santa would bring her a unicorn suit. I pointed out that we had never seen any unicorn suits in the world and that I wasn;t sure that Santa couold make them. I suggested some other things that she might like instead. She just added them to her list, which was still topped with "unicorn suit."
I needn't have worried. Santa being the magical person he is did come through as Zoe had always known he would. There on her bed on Christmas morning was a fantastic white unicorn suit complete with golden horn and bridle.
How wonderful it is to see a child's long-time wish granted at last. Despite the heat she wore it all Christmas Day. taking it off only when we insisted that she needed to cool off for a while. On Boxing Day she had it on before I was even awake and it stayed on all day once again.
She has worn it on walks we've taken and to the mall. She asks innocently "Why is everyone looking at me?"
