Christmas Countdown Day 17: Santa Keys

Every year at the boys' play group, they read a story about Santa's key. I would love to find a copy of it to have in my collection, but i'm still searching.

Basically, the key is for kids who don't have a chimney in their home. Only Santa can use the key to open the door. It lets him in to leave the gifts and eat the cookies and milk, and that's all.

Here's Elijah learning that the key will only open the door for Santa.

You could probably get away with one key for your household, but our boys each got one at their play group, and they insist on hanging them all! 

Santa leaves the keys inside when he's finished, since our door can be locked from the inside.
