Yeah. Yeah. So a Minecraft you you play you play a thing is sucked in another block and after you can play five to make a fireplace. But to actually make a fire.

You can you need something you tie it. Yeah, you can have a flint to steal. So a flint is like something. I don't know. But I don't know. It's kind of fake. It's kind of it looks like a sea and it's like a flint. And after it's like, you know, for the big ends up and in the black thing is just like a rock or black. So it's cold. Yeah, it's called cold. Yeah.

Plus enough for they call it flicked a steal. you're talking about for Minecraft. Now, I want to ask you about more about this before we get into this Minecraft. OK.

How do you get on the naughty list? By being bad. Oh, yeah. What about you, Blair? How do you get on the naughty list? The cat says it's funny. Yeah. I'm kiss it on my chest. Wow. Wait. I'm gonna eat a bunny. It doesn't say you can't eat it. You're gonna eat a bunny? No. I just want to eat a carrot. Carrot? Oh, the bunny wants to eat a carrot?

Yeah, buddies eat carrots all day. Now, how do you get on the nice list? By being good. What about you, Blair? How do you get on the nice list? Alright, so I'm going to ask you a question. Do you guys think you're on the naughty or the nice list? Sometimes we argue. Sometimes we argue. We're almost on the naughty list, but sometimes we're on the... sometimes we don't.

So we're on the nice list. So are you on the naughty list now or the nice list because Christmas is like in a couple days? Well, sometimes I be mean sometimes I be mean anything in the art and some sometimes I mean is sometimes sometimes what I ask them sometimes I ask people to I want to play they say no, but sometimes I I I Tell I want I say I want

What about you, Blair? Are you on the naughty list or the nice list? Yeah, there's a picture of me. Yeah, that's a picture of me and Avery. But are you on the naughty list or the are you on the naughty list or the nice list, Blair? You're on the nice list. You're a good girl. Sometimes we argue. Yeah, sometimes you argue. Yes. So what? So she's so close beyond the naughty list. Now I want to ask you another question.

Santa, Santa works all year to get Christmas ready with the elves, right? Yes? But he only does the big dolls. He only makes toys or stuffies. Okay, that's all he does. Now when he's not doing that, he has to deliver all the presents around the whole world in one night, right? Yeah. Now when he's not doing that, he's probably on vacation, right?

yeah, sometimes he's on vacation. Wait, what does he do when he goes on vacation? Do you know? Cause I don't know. I, I, I, I remember. So when he's on vacation, he relaxes and you ain't never do something. But what does he do? Like, does he go anywhere or does he just stay home? He just, he just, he just, I don't know, but he likes to go somewhere like to the lake, like the beach or something else.

What about you, Blaire? Does Santa Claus go on vacation? No? Hold on, have you let her answer? Where does Santa go? Santa's going home? To do what? To get the gifts? To get the gifts? Okay, Blaire, can you stop touching that? I think I know.

What do you know when it's not Christmas? He goes on vacation. But when it's almost Christmas, he comes back home from the vacation. That makes sense. Is he on vacation by himself or does he go in like the elves and like the reindeer and like Mrs. He doesn't go with Mrs. Plows me cookies. So she doesn't go the else those are there because they because they make toys. But with the reindeers fly. So it could be that. But what's up?

the reindeers or make he used the reindeers to help to drop off. He comes from the roof. But I don't know where does his group where? So he so he drops the gifts to the roof. Great. That's a good point. Now, I to ask. I want to you to drop the gift from the roof. He likes to go. He goes in the roof and goes from the chimney down. So he comes down through the chimney. Yeah. And that's how he sees our Christmas tree.

Then he gets in the house and he puts the gifts under the tree. Yeah. Okay. Now, what? What's up? He writes the name first. He writes the right there name on the gifts first. Yeah. So they, so they know which gift is there. Okay. Now Blair.

Santa comes down the chimney. Yeah. He definitely dies. Now, Avery, how is he going to come in our house? We don't have a chimney. We do. What chimney? chimney that's on the roof, but it doesn't land anywhere. We don't have a chimney, Avery. We do have a chimney. OK, so we have a chimney. OK, we'll say that. What about if you don't have a chimney? How does he get in your house?

uses magic. Wow. What magic I know. So yeah, but tell me more like he uses magic to do what? To get inside. Like how does he like make a chimney? Does he like go through the walls? What does he do?

Well, he uses his magic to unlock the door. So he comes in through the door? Yeah, so if we don't have a roof, he comes down, he goes down, unlocks the door with his magic, gets in, uses just the present. I'm so confused. Or he can go invisible through.

girl and get a ghost and do the presents and come and go back on a sleigh. right. Now, do you think our dogs are going to bark when he comes? Or do dogs like Santa Claus?

They always, some dogs bark when they hear the ring, the door knock or ring. Santa Claus doesn't ring the doorbell. Blair, do you think Bella and Cricket is gonna bark when Santa comes? Well, dogs don't see Santa Claus. They just stay asleep. Sometimes, sometimes, some dogs are downstairs.

and they sleep. Sometimes they hear dogs. I don't know if dogs are really good at hearing footsteps. like, tippy toes. Nobody can hear them. Except for dogs, dogs. Blythe, can dogs hear tippy toes? No. No? Can they hear your tippy toes?

But I think so. Now, Santa goes around the whole world in one night. Yeah, he does. Blair, how does he do it? Well, you're so I feel different. But so Blair peed her pants and now she needs to go get changed. It's OK. I got a pajama pants. I thought she was she won't be in her pajama pants, but she did. Yeah. So every.

back to Santa, traveling the whole world in one night. I don't know how he does it. I think only kids know.

already know that. Wait, if he goes around the whole world to go to China to a different world to different worlds where we don't live. Mm hmm. And he brings them and it's for the children. Yeah. Oh, I think I know why. Tell me why. Because rainies have really good eyes. In the night.

Raccoons can't see in the night. What can't see in the night? Raccoons can see in the night. raccoons can see in the night. OK, so but but how does he go around the world? Like what does he he has magic to get in the house? Does he he have magic to like go around the whole world? Talk it to the mic. Wait, I think I know. Tell me. He he he he uses his magic to make it free.

to make it freeze and go. What's he freezing? The world. Except for the children. So wait a minute. He freezes the world and not the children. Is he freezing time or is he freezing like the world? He's freezing the world except for people. Why? Why doesn't he freeze the people? So they don't stay in bed for too long. Okay.

So he frees the world so the world doesn't spin around. So that way it's easier to go from China and every other country in the world. Yeah. That makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. Where did you learn this? Nowhere. Nobody told me. ever told me. You just know these things. So do you think, do you think an elf can be put on the naughty list? No. Do you think elves ever get in trouble with Santa?

No. So elves are good all the time and Santa never has to punish them. But they only make toys, but I think what some I think so sometimes. That makes sense. What about what about this? You're going to get a lot of gifts this year, right? Well, maybe, maybe get a lot of because we don't have no tree. We don't have no gifts under the Christmas tree yet.

So you don't know if you're going to get a lot of gifts. Do you think you're going to get a lot? I only got two, so I think I'm going to get those two gifts. What's the gift that you're most excited about? My craft, be a scooter, a scooter. Why those? Why those two? But the step for the thing in the back, but it does wobble, but you turn it so you can step on the back and break it.

the breaks for the scooter you're talking about? Yeah, like that. Like the Elsa one. Like the, they have the two in the back and one in the front.

The wheels. Yeah. I can't can't stop it. But Seth, I have to put my feet down and drag it to stop. All right. Now, besides the scooter and all these things, right? Santa has to put the gifts under the tree. Santa has to freeze the world except the people. Santa is going to have to use magic to get through the door. Are you supposed to be awake or asleep when Santa comes? Asleep.

So are you gonna try to go to sleep very hard the night before? Yeah, he knows you're awake too, but. So what happens if you're awake? Is he not gonna come? He doesn't come. He doesn't come if you're downstairs, if you come down and see if he's here. What about milk and cookies? Do you have to give him anything? You have to make them. You have to make them? Are you gonna make them? I hope I'll help.

I'll help you guys. Do you make cookies daddy? Mommy makes cookies. I'll help mommy. What kind of cookies does he like? you Sugar. Sugar cookies. He likes sugar. He only likes sugar cookies. Is Santa Claus fat or skinny? He is fat. So Santa Claus is fat. Why is he fat?

You know, think I know why because he ate too much junk food. Yeah. Like like sugar, like like sugar, like sugar things. Yeah. He only he only likes sugar things.
