One Night Before Christmas...........

Dad: Snuggle up, sonny boy. Santa's coming soon.
Boy: Do you really believe in Santa, daddy?
Dad: Yes, of course I believe in Santa!
Son: So, Santa is real?
Dad: No, I wouldn't say he is real.
Son: So, why do you believe in him, if he's not real?
Dad: I don't know. I guess it gives me hope.
Son: What's hope?
Dad: Hope has to do with wanting things to get better.
Son: Will things get better, daddy?
Dad: I hope so.
Son: Are you Santa, daddy?
Dad: Nope.
Son: Do you really think Santa will bring me a hockey stick?
Dad: I hope so. Don't you?
Son: Uh Huh!
Dad: Good night, son.
Son: Good night, Santa.
