Tonight, the child and I wandered about looking for Christmas gifts for others. As we wandered, the child rode a carousel, we played with toys, we both tried on men's hats, and we had general fun. The child was especially impressed with her choice of carousel animal—a gray cat holding a fish in its mouth. In her words, she "rode on its body," it "went up and down," it "meowed at me," and it "was fun." The child was also impressed with the carousel animal to her immediate left—a horse with "no name."I also learned things about Santa Claus, whom we happened to glimpse seated for pictures with other boys and girls, good and bad. Santa Claus brings "a basket of presents," which he delivers "through our door" and "puts under our tree—my tree, Daddy's tree, and Mommy's tree." Later, it was a "backpack of presents."
