Mummy where’s Daddy?
Daddy will be late today
Doesn’t he know it is Christmas eve?
He is busy with work today!
Santa won’t get him a gift if he doesn’t come home and wait.
Who told you?
Daddy told we should all wait for Santa to give our gifts.
Haha alright, quickly get in your bed and go to sleep.
Mumma please, not today!
It’s here.. The night when no one falls asleep, when the spirit of Christmas has set in, the house is ornamented with lights and kids’ excitement is at their zenith. Both my kids are trying to sneak in the hallway just to check whose gifts have been placed by Santa. My husband had been trying hard to slink near the Christmas tree and place the gifts but kept withholding. I wonder from where do my children muster this much of energy to stay up all night. I saw their Santa(my dear husband) struggling so I decided to take them away from the tree. I took them to their room and started singing their favorite jingle- The Little Christmas Tree, from CG Slate. Kids got immersed in the Christmas stories and my husband finally got the chance to place our gifts (not to forget-one for himself too).
We heard the bells ringing, promptly both of them hopped down the bed and ran! I told them to watch their steps, but nothing could dampen their Christmassy mood. Like lightening did they reach the Christmas tree. And there we saw, under the embellished Christmas tree, a heap of gifts with names written on the chits.
Ecstatically they picked their gifts up and found exactly what they wished for.
And this is what I call the magic of Christmas, that brings the family together and makes all merrier.
Let’s embrace the happy face, and keep alive the bling & jive!
