First of all, the title because I just love the namesake song...its one of my favorites. I wish I could embed it in here with this post..that would be Super!
That said, Christmas is finally here! Yay!! We went for the Vigil Mass at 5:30pm today and as soon as we got back home, the kids were very excited and wanted to put baby Jesus in the Nativity set. Usually I do that only after midnight but seeing Sean and Rhea so excited we lay baby Jesus in his crib.
They were both so hyper and was eager about the next big event of the night...Santa's arrival. It was the easiest night to get them to bed...since they had got Santa's letter telling them to go to bed early and they didnt want to disappont him lest he 'forgets' their presents :) So after keeping Oreo cookies and a big glass of milk they both went to bed early.
Few minutes later, we could still hear them chattering exicitedly about Santa. Quote of the night from Rhea - Seany, sleep fast Santa is coming soon!!!
Today afternoon, Sean got his letter from Santa and needless to say he was super excited. He was quite puzzled how the elves would know to make a DSi since it is a very hard thing to make. We did convince him that the elves are pretty handy when it comes to making things and they should not run into any issues :) He seemed pretty convinced. Ha Ha or is it Ho Ho Ho :)
Here is a transcript of the letter Sean received from Santa,
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas, Sean!
Everyone here at the North Pole is very busy preparing for Christmas Eve. I've been checking my list and then I had my elves check it twice,and I see that you have been a good boy this year!
I know you are six years old and have been very busy! You have been working hard on your homework and Kumon and have become such a good reader. I especially enjoy all the stories you write in your class projects. You have also been working very hard on your tennis. I am very proud of you!
Even though some days it has been difficult to be a good boy, I see that
you have tried very, very hard! This is why the elves and I have made something special just for you!
Christmas is such a special day. Give thanks to Jesus on his birthday for all the wonderful things he has blessed you with. Please be sure to be in bed early on Christmas eve. The reindeers and I will soon be on our way to visit your house in South Riding just after midnight to deliver your gifts!
Keep on being a good boy and listen to your parents and teachers and watch out for your little sister. Also, tell your friend Joey to be good.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Love,
Saint Nicholas
