I guess I can check 'magician' and 'Santa' off his list of possible future careers

Bosco: How do reindeer fly? How do Santa’s elves know that I was naughty yesterday? How do treats keep showing up in the advent calendar? And how does Santa know we have a tree!?

Me: Magic.

Bosco: UUUUggghhh. Everything’s magic! It’s always magic! Can’t Santa do anything without that? I sure hope he can eat and sleep without magic!

I think someone needs a big cup of hot cocoa . . . before we once again broach the subject of Santa and chimneys.
