Christmas Traditions



A sweet lady where I work gave us one of the big popcorn tins for Christmas. We haven't had one in several years but it has been quite the hit with Nathan. He loves popcorn and now he has a new love "brown popcorn". I wish I had the camera ready to catch how big his eyes got when I opened that tin full of popcorn. He knows he can have the yellow and the brown but the orange will make him sick. But he has hardly touched the yellow. The caramel is halfway gone and we've had it less than a week. I've had to do some serious snack spreading with that caramel popcorn. This is a daily repeat.

Nathan: Good morning mommy. Let's have popcorn.
Mommy: Not for breakfast. Let's save it for snack.
(Popcorn for snack.)
Mommy: Nathan it's time to eat lunch.
Nathan: No, not lunch. Let's have brown popcorn.
Mommy: Eat your lunch then you can have brown popcorn.
(Popcorn for dessert.)
Mommy: Nathan it's time for supper.
Nathan: No mommy. Not supper. Let's have brown popcorn.

It's going to be a sad day for Nathan when the popcorn tin is empty. But this may have to become a Christmas tradition for our house.
