That's a line from a song Angela and I picked up somewhere during our childhood that we sing on occasion, all year long because really - it's always coming no matter if it's the day before Christmas or the day after - technically!
But it is drawing near today and we're about ready. Looks like it will be another brown Christmas. We had that glorious snow last weekend and flurries last night but it's all melted and we're back to cold and wind. Alas, it's Christmas anyway! Ang said it's official because I got up and started playing carols on the piano this year. It was great - my dad came in and sang along for quite some time, the perfect way to start Christmas Eve!
I hope that all of you have a wonderful holiday. Our vacation has been good so far, Chicago was a whirlwind but good. Wicked was wonderfully funny, so well done! I think I need to go back and watch the Wizard of Oz now to appreciate more of the story. But check it out if you get the chance, well worth it!!!
I am full of anticipation, this is my favorite feeling of all. We have one Christmas dinner in a few short hours, then church tonight. Singing Silent Night in the candlelight is one of my favorite traditions by far. Then it'll be Christmas morning. And I'm still a big kid because I love opening gifts and even more so, watching those I love open their gifts. We get to go extra slow this year because dinner isn't until 2:30pm tomorrow so that'll be nice! Maybe Santa'll bring a few surprises!!!
Merry Christmas all - may your celebration of that little baby's birth be the great beginning of another new year! I love you all.

I love how related we are!! Today is my favorite...I love the anticipation! Bean ran out to the fireplace today with her hand over her eyes and peeked in her stocking. Then she ran into my room and told me "Guess what? Only ONE more slep til Santa comes!"
I, too, love Silent Night by candlelight......hope we get to it tonight. That is the plan. I love you so~
