Twas the night before Christmas...

I know it's officially Christmas right now, but it has felt like Christmas is over to me already. Alex had his Christmas morning today, since he spends Christmas Day with his dad this year (we alternate each year).

Needless to say, he's a lucky kid... since Santa visits him twice each year. It's nice that he still believes in Santa... I wonder how much longer it will last before one of his classmates spoils it for him or he figures it out.

He was thrilled with his haul... and the air hockey table Santa brought was a huge hit. He didn't really ask for much this year (the only things he really asked for were - get this - a new hamper for his room and a new snow shovel... what a kid!)... and the table thing was a reach. Seriously though... what boy wouldn't like an air hockey table?

We played with it all damn day.

He also got a crapload of Hot Wheels, Legos and games. Can't go wrong with those for a six-and-a-half year old boy... and he even got a new snow shovel and a Darth Vader clothes hamper.

It's funny how when you're older, Christmas becomes more of a chore. Although, it is all worth it when you watch the joy and excitement on a child's face when the magic all comes alive. Alex says he even heard the reindeer on the room last night in the middle of the night. Gotta love the imagination!

Off to Detroit tomorrow and Monday to spend time with my side of the family... hopefully the weather is ok. This rainy, foggy Christmas is a weird thing...

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
