here comes santa claus.

she asked me if santa was magic. she couldn't see the smile on my face as she was snugly strapped into her car seat on the way home from school that day, "oh yes baby girl, santa is very magic!" i replied.
"but how does he do his magic?" she asked.
"hmmm", i thought, "well, he puts his finger to the side of his nose and winks his eye, i think."
"oh."
after a second or two she asked, "mom? how do you know all this stuff about santa?"
again i smiled to myself, a great big smile of knowing, "nana told me."
she slowly nodded her head and said, "yeah, nana knows stuff."
