Making Sweet Memories

I was driving in the car recently with my young nephew, who just turned 4 years old this past June and we had the sweetest conversation that I thought I should share.  To set up the conversation, we just got in the car and started driving to our destination when my nephew started singing, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

ME: Is that what you are going to sing when Christmas comes around?

My Nephew: Yes and I already know what I want for Christmas too!

ME: What do you want for Christmas? (secretly wanting to know since Christmas is rolling around and I wanted to know what to buy him)

My Nephew: All I want for Christmas is memories.

(I have to admit, I was shocked and touched.  I thought, aww my nephew is so sweet and loving what more can an aunt ask for......)

ME: Awww, all you want is memories that's so nice.

My Nephew: Yeah, I want Alien memories.

ME: Wait, you want what?!

My Nephew: I want Alien memories. (Ok, this conversation got creepy real quick)!

ME: How do you get Alien memories?

My Nephew: Oh, you just ask Santa

ME: OK, that sounds pretty interesting.  You make sure to tell Santa to bring you that then.

My Nephew: I also want socks. (Awww, there he goes again being so humble)...and new shoes and a bike and a scooter! (Oh wait that makes more sense for a 4 year old).

ME: You just got new shoes

My Nephew: Oh Just Kidding...What do you want for Christmas?

ME: All I want for Christmas are loving memories with my family, that is all I want.

My Nephew:  Awwww that's so sweet.  Why don't you ask Santa for a new bike too, like me, so that we can make memories together then?

HAHAHA, my dear sweet nephew, he always manages to put a smile on my face and hopefully, he was able to do the same to you, even if it was only for a brief moment....Until next time beloved!
