Christmas Eve

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Well not quite, my wife and I were stirring, we had a lot to do. It is my sons first Christmas, so we had to make everything perfect. First we put out a cookie and some milk for Santa, and a carrot for Rudolph. Then we laid out his stocking and went up to do bedtime, including reading A visit from St. Nicholas. Once he was in bed I gave my wife her special Christmas Eve present, then it was time to fill the stocking and put his presents under the tree.

It's a lot of effort, but he'll only have a first Christmas once.

Thanks for reading
