A Peek at Christmas Morning
Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Wednesday, December 25, 2013 at 4:27 PM
Two of three kids were awake at 3 a.m. this morning. I quietly shut my door and put a blanket at the foot of my door to keep the noise at a minimum and to keep any light out that might shine through. I also turned the fan up a notch to minimize the noise. I did not say a word to them, because I knew it was probably my doing. I had been sharing with my kids that when I was little I would sneak out of my room to see if Santa had come and when I would find the stockings full I would empty my stocking, go through it, and then nicely stash everything back into my stocking to go back through it again later. That is how I would pass my time til zero hours!
Then there was noise again at 4 a.m. I nudged the one snuggled up beside me and said, "They've been up since 3." My beloved went and nicely told children to wait until 6 a.m. Promptly at 6 a.m. feet pitter-pattered into my room, kisses were planted on my cheek and excited little voices said that Santa had come to our home! Which is a bit surprising to me!
Needless to say, there was much joy!
What a blessing it is to see those you love open presents that they enjoy!
