Pixies Have Nothing to do With Christmas

So tonight I drive to my Mom’s house after work to pick up the boys like I always do and things are normal.

When I get there I hang out for a while as the boys finish up their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. At one point SM does something rowdy, and before I can address it I hear my Mom say the following:

“SM, don’t forget, Santa gives away a present to the pixies each time you do something naughty.”

It took me a moment to process. Did my mother really just tell my son that Santa gives your presents to the pixies if you are bad? I giggle for a moment until I remember that my son is a “human sponge” and I can just see the reactions of his school friends (and his teacher) when he tries to share this little ‘factoid’ with them.

I immediately try to correct things and I tell him that Grandma is just being silly. I reiterate that Santa does indeed have a list, that he checks twice, with names of little girls and boys who are good. I explain that Santa is watching over him to make sure he behaves, and that you do get fewer presents if Santa finds out you’ve been naughty.

Over course my mother is in stitches and doesn’t see what the problem is. That maybe her story is true. Maybe Santa does give the presents that he ‘takes away’ when your bad and gives them to poor pixie children? Who knows..

Jaffa and Natanya, of course, grew up without any kind of Santa, so taking away gifts wasn't the problem. However, there was the Chanukah moose…now he could cause big problems!

That’s hysterical? Did she try that on you when you were young?
No?
Just saving it for when she became a Granny, it’s so much more fun that way LOL.
