For some reason, you were so enamoured with Santa and his reindeers this year. You were just so excited for his gift to you – in which you wished for My Little Pony’s Crystal Empire. Thing is, Mommy and Daddy took a long time before finally sitting down to make our order. This meant Crystal Empire can’t make it for Christmas. Time for Plan B. We had to explain properly that Santa needs help because he can’t deliver the Crystal Empire on time. That he needs you to help him by choosing your top 2 choices at Toys R Us. I had to emphasise that this is to help Santa so we will not be buying anything. Just window shopping for Santa. I know I was relying too much on your EQ. But you know what? You delivered. You really just selected your choices and not even once did you ask us to buy you anything. You were amazing. Of course you first chose Precure Transformation gadget (forgot how you called it but it’s the life size version of the gadget the Precure girls use for them to transform and my goodness how expensive it was! Your second choice was more expensive but I just did not see the value for money with the Precure gadget). Thankfully you moved on. And eventually chose the Barbie set complete with a horse and a carriage. I was teary-eyed. The last quarter of 2017, your first quarter as a 5 yr old, saw you transform from wishing for dinosaurs to wishing for girly toys. It would have been easier for me and Dad to just buy it right there and then because the queue and the crowd was so terrible. But it was Santa’s gift so I decided to go back there the following day and brave the crowd again. It was well worth it. You were giddy with joy when you woke up in the morning to find the Barbie you wished for. You were high-pitched all through out as you danced and smiled from ear to ear. The delight on your face was immeasurable reward/recompense from the tiredness of braving the crowd. You gave us a gift that’s priceless as exchange for our gift that has a tag. Thank you. By the way, on Christmas Eve, I attended the Christmas Mass and sang with the choir (you wished me goodluck in singing when I left after our Christmas dinner). When I came back home, I saw the snacks (munchkins) that you prepared for Santa. Thoughtful.
