O That's why...

Ethan's father just told him that the reason all the Inns were full in Bethlehem is because they were hosting the NCAA final four.

Recession.

UGH! Ethan just found my Christmas Wrapping Paper and asked why I had so much.  I had to tell him that Santa sent out a mass text asking people to "Please buy wrapping paper. He'll bring extra elves and they'll wrap here." When he asked why ‐ I told him we were in a recession. No one has extra money...even Santa. 

Um. Help.

The twins just locked us in their room... I have no way to get out since I had to bar and nail their windows shut. If you are a neighbor of mine...please help.
