I remembered the cookies, milk ,reindeer food, and gifts. I remembered telling our elf good-bye before he parted ways upon Santa's arrival. I remembered to charge the camera battery. I even remembered reiterating the Christmas rules with the kids: do not come downstairs without your sister and NO opening gifts until Mommy and Daddy are awake too. But I forgot to tell them what time they were allowed to come downstairs!
It is now just 5 am and I have finished 2 cups of coffee. All gifts are open and the trash is even picked up. Breakfast is ready. We have witnessed a few tears and fight or 2. Is it possible we all may get a nap in before 10 am mass?
Merry Christmas to all and to all a fabulous day!
