It has been far too many years since I have seen the wonder in a child’s eyes on Christmas morning. Santa has come and gone and left Little Joe the most wonderful gifts. He and I made Christmas cookies for Santa on Christmas eve. We all sat around the Christmas tree and sang Christmas carols, sipped hot chocolate and waited for time to go to bed before Santa passed us by.
Little Joe and I watched the Santa tracker on the computer and when he got over our state, it was off to bed without a whimper one. He was so excited that I thought he would never go to sleep. This was the first Christmas that Santa has been to our house for one of our own and it brought a joy here that I can’t begin to explain.
Santa brought Little Joe and battery operated 4 wheeler, a Lightening McQueen laptop educational computer, Mater bed set for his bed and more than I can write quite honestly. Celeste even got somethings from Santa. She got lots of clothes and boots and shoes, which she really needed. She got more than she ever had before in her life she told me later. The joy in their eyes was all the Christmas present I needed but
Celeste did get me something from her and Little Joe. She had gotten one of those kits that you make a hand print of a child on plaster and wrote ‘We love you Nana’ on it. I will treasure that for as long as I live. It was absolutely the most perfect gift I could have ever asked for. Here’s hoping that you and yours had a wonderful Christmas too.
