Christmas Eve

Here it is the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. How did it get here so quickly? We made a last minute errand run at almost five o'clock, and you could see that the worker bees were anxious to get home to their families but still were cheery even to late shoppers like us. At dinner the grands were thinking about making a plate of things for Santa and his reindeer. We decided that if Rudolph came along we would need nine carrots for the reindeer and maybe one for Santa, since he would be eating too much tonight and would have to go on the South Beach Diet tomorrow. I think I need to join him. Well, maybe after New Year's.

The boys added two scones and a chocolate from their Advent calendars, and this may be it for Santa and his reindeer from this family. Christian decided that he didn't want to finish his glass of milk, and he could leave the remainder for Santa. This got turned down as a good idea and caused grins from the adults.

So, "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there............."

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Good Night.
