Christmas with a Fijit

Just before Santa was due to fly into Brussels we walked into the main square and were transfixed with the light concert. The sounds and lights were incredible; our last experience of this for the next 24 hours thanks to Teagan's copious letters to Santa.

Over the past few months, Teagan has been focused on a Mattel toy called a Fijit Friend - she found it via Amazon.com advertising and has frequently explored the Fijitfriends.com site and any YouTube video she could find. Naturally, this became her wish.

As I understand, Santa willingly provided one such creature for her, however, he did struggle to get it soundlessly into her Santa sock...you see, I saw Santa trying to muffle the sounds in a towel in the echoing bathroom. I also believe that this was the point in which Santa learned that a Fijit does not come with a volume control!

During the wee small hours, some feet pattered over to the door and found an overloaded sock (yes,Grandma it does travel every year) and in it was a Fijit: and wow what choice Santa has. I shall forever thank him for giving Teagan such joy and pleasure, it was delightful as a parent watching this. But I will caution Santa for the future that Ibis Hotel rooms and volume-control-less FIJITs are an interesting choice!
