You Gotta Laugh - "Flying saucers and tickles "

You Gotta Laugh - "Flying saucers and tickles "

In just a few days, excited children and adults around the globe will be ripping and tearing through colorful gift bags and wrappings to finally discover what exactly is beneath it all. That is … unless you are a certain delightful 2-year-old who frequently visits our house. Let’s just say last weekend Ben had a bit of a head start.
As Ben bolted through the front door, it was his first peek into the grandparent’s house all dolled-up for Christmas. His eyes were like flying saucers from outer space as he expertly located the Christmas tree covered in decades of sparkly glass and homemade decorations. After making a skillful lunar landing in the fake tree’s direction, Ben ripped off a low-hanging ornament and told me what it was. While the little guy is still in “vocabulary training,” he has all the usual Christmas suspects down like … Santa, reindeer and snowman … you get my snow drift.
