Christmas Memories...

like everyone, I have a lot of them.  But it was only about 4 weeks ago, the most bestest, sweetest Christmas memory was made.  This is the first year my son really understands Santa.  He's even learned all the words to 'Santa Claus is coming to town'.  So several weeks ago, it's bedtime and he goes to his room to go to bed.  Not even 30 minutes later I hear something coming from his room - an odd sound.  I couldn't tell if he was screaming or having a nightmare - it was just an odd sound.  So I (& DH) jump up and run to his room, swing the door open and there he is - singing...Santa Claus is coming to town! We don't go in his room, we closed the door and stood there listening to him sing.  All at the same time, we're standing there listening, giggling and trying to figure out if he was awake.  Then before you know it - silence.  We crack the door open and he is out!  He was singing in his sleep.  It was a sweet moment.  I NOW have the video camera ready - just in case.

He is soooo excited about Santa coming, he can't stand it.  And to tell you the truth, neither can I.
Merry Christmas everyone!

  9. What a cute story. I tell you I woke up early Christmas morning waiting to hear little feet. I kept waiting and waiting, and waiting. He slept until 8! I was ready to wake him up...seriously, I was that excited.
