T'was the Night Before Christmas...

And all through the house, not a creature was stirring.  Not even a mouse.  Unless you count the two dogs, the cat, the fish, Jeff and I.  Unfortunately, we have to wait until noon tomorrow for the holly and jolly of the season to arrive.  So we sit..and we wait.  And I got to thinking of all of the reasons that I love Christmas and love sharing it with all three of the boys.  Yes, they're all like little kids this time of year.  Which made me realize, the joy of Christmas has nothing to do with presents or decorations.  It's not the wrapping paper or the bows, not the lights or the tree.  It's the excitement.  It's the anticipation.  I read a quote the other day from Tad Carpenter that read "What I love most about my home is the people that I share it with".  That's how I feel everyday.  Christmas just makes it a little more special!  So hurry home guys, it just doesn't feel the same without you.
