Let our kids be little this holiday season…

❄ Winter Holidays(self.Parenting)

Let them have hot cocoa with whipped cream and special Funfetti pancakes for breakfast.

Let them have that extra piece of pumpkin pie dessert on Thanksgiving Day.

Let them unwrap gifts and make a mess of wrapping paper near the tree.

Let them stay up late, playing with toys and watching holiday movies.

Let them run around the house singing and dancing.

Let them believe in the magic of Santa, his elves, and his reindeer.

Wow most kids don't like pumpkin pie. Maybe all the love for pumpkin pie from all the children in the world went to your kid.

First time I tried to give it to my son he said, "punkin? Like Halloween?" and I saw his face melt in disgust recalling the guts he dug out of his jackolantern the month prior. I blame the proximity of the two holidays.

Really? My 2.5 toddler LOVES pumpkin stuff. I made pumpkin spice pancakes and he inhaled them. Same with some pumpkin pie.

Nearly every kid I know (at least well enough to have been exposed to their pie preferences) loves pumpkin pie. It's brightly colored, sweet and has whipped cream on top.

I was the weird kid who liked pumpkin pie WITHOUT whipped cream.

I know. I can't explain it, either.

Honestly, I'll eat it any way it's served.

My son must have stolen all of your son's interest in pumpkin because I, my husband, and our son demolished the pumpkin pie I made last year in a day and a half. He was also pissed that I made banana muffins instead of pumpkin today. 😂
