12 Days of Christmas: Day 1

December 10th, 2008

So my husband, since around November 1st, has been playing Christmas music in the car every time we go anywhere with the kids. And in his never-ending quest to turn our son and daughter into music fans, he’s always educating them on various bands, vocalists and rock n’ roll eras.

The other night, as we were driving home from dinner out, we were looking at Christmas lights and of course Daddy has us tuned in to the local station that plays Christmas music non-stop.

And then a familiar raspy voice started singing “Santa Claus is Comin to Town.”

My husband, thrilled, reached over to the dial to turn up the volume…”Listen guys!” He said enthusiastically, “It’s The Boss! Do you know who The Boss is???”

From the dark back seat of our minivan, in his infinite-almost-six-year-old-wisdom, our son said flatly…

“Yeah….Jesus.”
