For the kids who want a gift, here is one sure way to win Santa’s heart. I came across this letter Kui had written back in 2014.
December 24, 2014
Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas to you, your elves and your reindeer! This year I hope I was on the nice list. I had done a lot to be on the nice list. I have:
· Helped my little sister several times.
· Swept the kitchen floor after dinner several times.
· Washed the dishes many times.
· Got a great report card on the first marking period.
· Did a lot of Kidbiz3000 activities.
Now I want to tell you what I want for Christmas. I want:
· An art set
· Pajamas
· A dress
· A LG G2 Android phone
Thank-you Santa for all the great presents and gifts. I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year? Oh and one more thing. What will your New Year Resolution be?
OXOXOXOXO and best wishes
Happy Thanksgiving

Dinner Table Talk
Five years back we started having dinner seated together. Previously, we had dinner together, but it was in the living room with the TV on and more. However, hurricane Sandy prompted us to sit together at the kitchen table (It was the only room with lights powered by a portable generator). We have continued thus ever since.
The other night, it was a little silent at the dinner table. I guess everyone was absorbed in having their meal and moving on to evening prayers then bed. It turns out the silence was too much for our 6 year old to stomach.
“Next time, I want to be born into a talking family!” she exclaimed. Not sure what to make of it, I asked her what she wanted us to talk about. She went on to say, she wanted to be asked how her day was, and how was school. We complied and she joyfully shared her day adventures.
Do you talk at the dinner table? We took a hint from a 6 year old girl who is not afraid to speak her mind.
