Santa Sided With the Kids

One year for Christmas, we chose to put the tree in the family room, which did not have a fireplace in it. The children thought the tree should go in the living room, which did have a fireplace, and therefore closer to where Santa would find it and place presents under it. But my husband and I thought we should put the tree in the room we spent the most time in, the family room.

On Christmas morning, we awoke to find that "Santa" sided with the children and had MOVED the Christmas tree from the family room to the living room next to the fireplace, where the presents for the children were waiting under the tree. That was several years ago and the children are older, but still remind us of that magical Christmas.
