To say Liam likes Christmas is like saying fish are fond of water. He has been Christmas crazy for weeks now. Having many exciting phases of singing, dancing around, and wearing a santa hat everywhere he goes. We had a few arguments already when he wanted to wear the Santa hat to kindergarten in the last week of November.
The latest mania is that he watched the classic 1964 Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer animagic (puppet) show and he latched on to the Flying Lion who is king of the island of misfit toys, Moonracer. He has been callling himself Moonracer for a week now, and flying around the house roaring. We have to address him as Moonracer or Liam-Moonracer if we want an answer. It started off funny, but Claudia and I have both heard about enough from Moonracer. Oh, he also has a crown made of gold pipecleaners that he wears around the house.
Liam is also very active in his Christmas art. There are drawings of santa with reindeer and his sleigh all over the house. He normally glues some cotton to the page for the beard. Below is the most recent drawing and I love the maniacal looking Santa. I think he looks like a crazy in a red top hat, but hey, that is just my interpretation.
I did mention that Liam wears the Santa hat a lot. really a lot. It had come to the point where we could only get it off him after he was asleep. Here is a typical image of Mr.Christmas in the evening.
Well, Germany has the big day of gifts and fun on the 24th, so this evening the Christkind will be paying the wee man a visit. I hope that the post-Christmas come-down will be OK for him and we can get back to some normal routine.

That is such a cute picture of Liam.
If you want him to behave, you should show him the Futurama episodes with Robot Santa. Although that might be a little too scary.
I hope you guys had a great Christmas!
So do we get to see any new posts in 2010?
