Christmas Eve Warning

On Christmas Eve, I told Sam that Santa came only when children slept in their own beds the whole night.  I explained that Santa didn't want to be discovered putting presents under the tree (Sam had been waking up each night in the wee hours and giving an excuse as to why he couldn't sleep in his bed).

Sam looked at me very seriously and shook his head sadly. "Oh," he said, "then I guess Vivian isn't getting any presents from Santa."
