Christmas Vacation

I am not sure who decided that the kids should get out a whole week before Christmas but they obviously do not have kids. What do you do with a child who is anxiously waiting for Christmas to come for seven whole days without school??? His Christmas list would be another mile long if I added all the things he keeps asking for. If I have to watch Spongebob one more time I might turn into a sponge. Today is only day one of vacation . . .
