My oldest daughter Alyssa is 8. She is at the age when you still want to beleive in Santa yet you kinda know how it works. This year I decided I was going to make her beleive! We prepared for Christmas Eve by setting out the cookies and the milk. We made a huge poster for our front door. It expained to Santa that he should use the front door, because we had a fire going in the fireplace. We were all sitting in the kitchen playing cards (me, my husband , my father in-law, brother in-law, and friend and the kids), when the jolly red guy comes through the front door! He is HO HO HO-ing and my 8 year old looks as if she is going to faint! She turns white and starts to tremble. Her eyes grow huge in amazement! My youngest (Brandon Dean), runs up and gives him a big hug, my three year old ( Kaitlynn) just smiles and laughs. He tells them how usually, they are sleeping when he arrives, so he just gives them a kiss on the cheek and says a little prayer over them. Then he comments on how much they have grown over this past year! He gives them each a gift, chats awhile, and then tells them if they go right to bed he will come back later. As I am tucking the kids into bed, Alyssa turns and says "Mom I never saw the real Santa before! I can't beleive he was here and I was awake!" I have to tell you, I would have paid any amount of money to experience that night! Thankfully the town mayor is cheaper. It was the best $20.00 I ever spent. I will upload photos for you all to enjoy! |
