The big brother is, and has been on Christmas countdown for some weeks. He hasn’t yet written a list, but suggestions for Father Christmas are regularly discussed as he fine tunes his requests for the festive season.
When the topic was raised yesterday, I decided to see if the twins have any comprehension of Father Christmas and the giving and receiving of gifts.
“Would you like Father Christmas to bring you a present?”, I asked the blonde tentatively.
“Mmm I like Father Christmas bring a present”, she replied, before spreading her hands out, shrugging her shoulders and adding, “but I don’t know what Father Christmas brings for presents?”
“Well what would you like?”, I ask her.
More thinking and a bit more shrugging before I see a little grin creeping across her face as she thinks of something.
“I like purple”, she says. “And blue. I like purple and blue from Father Christmas”.
The brunette nods in agreement.
“We like purple presents from Father Christmas.”
Sounds like it’s unanimous then.
