Twas The Night Before Christmas

Solstice is over but tonight is the absolute longest night for the Monsters. They have been bouncing all day, they have been threatening each others behavior with Santa and the naughty/nice list.  It’s hard to find things to occupy minds and hands that are already caught up in day dreams of what tomorrow will bring. They are already lost in the excitement.

At the moment they have popcorn and are watching The Santa Clause 2 and we are tracking Santa online with Norad . After the movie we will do cookies and milk for Santa, brush teeth,  and then they will get tucked in. About 16 times. It will take everyone forever to fall asleep tonight. (even me)

I love watching them on days like today when they are bright eyed and pink cheeked with anticipation. It is one of those things that makes me smile and is the best thing about being a mom.

So Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.
