waking up to hear whispering children and find them huddled together not ready to peek out in the living room. They are the kind of kids who like to let anticipation build.watching them open stockings.a little boy being over the moon to receive a bathrobe and a coffee mug.a homemade batch of french toast.

that Grammy packed extras from last night’s party for the kids.that egg nog is in high demand around here.

Merry Christmas.
