Christmas morning ends so quickly

A joke I have heard my whole life that continues today about Disney is how you wait in line for 60 minutes to ride a ride that’s all over in 60 seconds. Disney can’t hold a candle to Christmas. For weeks and months (maybe only days for a few husbands) we shop, and cook, and drive, and agonize over what to get our family and friends for Christmas. Then in the blink of an eye, three little Tasmanian devils tear through their packages like a tornado through a trailer park. The kids were all pleased with their gifts that Santa brought as well as what Kriss and I got them. I was advised that the two older girls were up at 3:00AM with the tree turned on as well as every light in the living room looking to see what Santa brought. He brought Erin and Kellie bicycles and Alyssa a Vera Bradley bag. I think Erin likes her bike most of all but Kellie really hasn’t ridden hers yet. Alyssa got a stack of books she is in to now, all the Wicked, Twilight, and other vampire craze that’s going around now.We all got up around 8:00 then to open gifts and witness the carnage. Afterward Kriss put on a few hams to take to her mom’s house this afternoon to exchange with Nana, Mark, and Shondra.

This evening the girls will go to their other grandparent’s house to see what Santa brought there and we’ll come back home to what should be a quiet house.

I’ll leave out in the morning to go get Marc Jr and bring him back for a few days and let him have Christmas here.
