All I want for Christmas...

Nathan has now seen 4 Santas so far: one at the Holiday Lighting in our town, one before the Christmas Parade, one at WalMart, and one at the mall in St. Joe. And all 4 times he has told Santa that he wants an electric guitar for Christmas. And all 4 Santas (well... except for one who knows him!!!) looked at him in surprise. Here is the conversation between Nathan and the Santa he saw yesterday:

Santa: Ho ho ho! And what would you like for Christmas, young man?

Nathan: I would like an electric guitar!

Santa: (glancing at me in confusion) What did you say?

Nathan: (a little louder) I said I would like an electric guitar!

Santa: (raising his eyebrows a bit) You want a guitar?

Nathan: (sighing loudly) No... I want an electric guitar!

Santa: (stammering a bit but trying to hold it all together) Well... what else would you like for Christmas?

Nathan: (surprised, but thinking about it) I only want one thing! An electric guitar!

At this point, Santa gives in and laughs out loud, gives me a wink, gives Nathan a coloring book, and sends him on his way with a hearty "Merry Christmas!"

Maybe you could just get the electric guitar and forget the amplifier. Oh, but do you think he will need a capeo?
