As a Twilighter, it’s so easy to stay within Twi-circles, surrounded by others who understand the affinity the majority of Twi-parents have towards the Saga.
A fellow Twi-mom, Hope, directed me towards the mommy blog, Her Bad Mother, and sandwiched between domestic goddess posts is one delish post designed for Twi-moms titled, “Twelve Reasons Santa may be a Vampire, and Why That’s Kind of Awesome.”
Among the comparisons of Santa and Edward Cullen:
1.) The aforementioned night stalking. Edward loves Bella, and so he lurks around her bedroom at night, watching her sleep and listening to her mumble sweet-nothings about her secret dreams and desires. Santa loves the children, and so he remote-watches them while they sleep and eavesdrops while they mumble about visions of sugarplums and then, when the time is right, he sneaks into their houses and then back out again without making a sound. Edward and Santa are both skilled in the dark arts of benevolent stalking. Disturbing? Maybe. But when was the last time you told your kids that you wouldn’t be letting Santa in the house because love means never watching people when they’re sleeping?
2.) Edward has been known to hang out in the far North. Santa lives in the far North.
3.) They both like the cold.
4.) They both like deer.
5.) They don’t usually make appearances in the sunshine, unless they really want to create a stir. You know what would have freaked out those Volterra crowds even more than a half-naked Edward leaping out from the shadows and sparkling in the sun? A half-naked Santa leaping out from the shadows baring his blindingly white belly to the sun.

With the secular holiday season now passed, a question remains. As parents, did you receive any Twilight goodies, and if so, what? Feel free to comment or send an email to twilight.moonlighter@gmail.com.
