Will Santa See Himself?

Today, the girls pleaded and pleaded to put up the Christmas decorations around the house. Namely, they wanted to put up the Christmas tree. Perhaps they believe Christmas will come sooner with the decorations in their places.

At one point, while trimming the tree, Valerie asked, "Will Santa see himself when he comes to our house?"

I probed, "What do you mean? Are you asking if he can see himself in the mirror?"

She said, "No, will he see himself on our tree?!"

Finally realizing what she was getting at, I replied, "Yes, he will be able to see all of the ornaments on our tree that look like him. Yes, of course, he will see himself!"

She smiled and continued to carefully and methodically place the miniature Santa ornaments on the tree.
