Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This weekend Ryan and I were out running errands and there was Christmas music playing at the stores. When the song "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" came on, he told me that was his favorite Christmas song, but the radio was playing it wrong. I listened and was confused about what he meant, until he starting singing the Bruce Springsteen version. He was rockin' out and apparently this is the only way he knows this song. I was quite proud. He even added "Clarence, You been rehearsing real hard so Santa brings you a new saxophone." Now I just hope that this song doesn't come up at any Christmas programs, or we may have a problem.

We also had a pretty good laugh at Sam's expense over the song "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (the John Melloncamp version). For some reason this song freaked Sam out when he was 3 or 4 years old. He would cry and cry and make you turn it off whenever it came on. We never did understand what it was about the song that he didn't like. I tried to explain that unless Santa was Jon BonJovi we wouldn't have a problem, but that didn't make a difference to him. Now that he is 9 he just says to turn it off because "It kinda sucks." Lovely.
