When accurate hearing is vital!
In the weeks before Christmas, everyone wants to meet the big guy! There is a cheerfulness in the air and as they approach Santa, he invites them to sit on his lap! And then the moment they have been waiting for and thinking about - their wish list! Oh NO!
I was the Santa kindly asking children to repeat their lists again and again, finally giving in to a series of smiles, nods and "Uh Huhs". With all the new toys each year, I was terrified to learn that so many children wanted to "Hack 'em all" (Hatchimals) or "Wack 'em all" (Wack a Mole). If it weren't for Barbie or Lego I would have been lost!
I have five grandchildren of my own and a test run with them has been terrific. I am looking forward to hearing Christmas Wishes more than ever this year!
