Writing A Letter To Santa

My girls are drawing pictures and Desiree just came down to show me the letter she wrote to Santa. Here's how our conversation went....

D: This is a letter for Santa.

Me: Sweetie it's not Christmas. I know it's snowing outside, but it's not Christmas.

D: I know, but we have to put it in the mail.

Me: (*try to think of something to say) Santa doesn't take letters right now........he's on vacation.

D: ......I know that

It's one of those, "had to be there", moments, but I thought it was funny enough to share.
