Like if you don't have pajamas, you you can go among my grannies and get pajamas. And well, we don't really go out really that much unless like we go to our cousin's house to open some more presents because they they get us a lot of well we get one present that sure I'm getting like about six presents because my wait.

Your mom my mom just told me like I'm getting five and then I I don't think I don't think because last year, like how do you say, like, I remember having six last year, like seven, eight last year, because I had one at the other house. But now I'm thinking they make they may I don't know last year we had three, so I'm thinking they may do the same.

I'm like, Yep. She'll be like, well, give them here. I'm like, wait, you just told me to buy them? And then she would wrap them up and they would just sit under the tree. But I would know what it is, though. It was no surprise. I'm like, okay, I see what I know what my Christmas give out, because you let me pick them out. But I couldn't open them until Christmas.

SPEAKER_00

Because I want to know from a kid's perspective, honestly, do y'all believe in Santa Claus? I I just asked I ain't hey, I'm just asking the question. Do y'all believe in Santa Claus?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Because my mom asked me, what do I want for Christmas?

SPEAKER_00

You do?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I do. Because my mom never tells me what I get for Christmas. It's always a surprise. Sometimes it's for my aunties and uncles, and then sometimes it's for my mom and dad's, but then sometimes it's a surprise. Yeah, from.

unknown

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_00

So okay. If you believe in you believe in Santa Claus.

SPEAKER_01

Because my mom tells me there's some gifts that um that it's anonymous and we don't know who it is, so that's why I believe it's in the clause. And he leaves me stuff in my stockings. Good vocabulary word.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, well, it is. Oh no, I'll just say this. I remember growing up, we didn't have no chimneys. So I don't know. I ain't I didn't see no man come through my chimney. If he became through my chimney, it was gonna be some problems, but we ain't have no chimney.

SPEAKER_01

So like I live in this thing called a townhouse, and it's like it's not basically our house, but we live in it and stuff, and we need expressions, and and uh we don't have a chimney. At my old house, I had a chimney.

SPEAKER_00

That's why I said we said and that's and that's the reason why I'm saying what y'all saying is debatable. Like from her perspective, she had a chimney. She thinks so.
