This was the magic night. Denise made it special for us. We would jump around and sing like reindeer in the living room, while the grown people talked and then, the Nativity. If we were sent to bed early, it was still alot of pent up energy. We would sing songs with the mirror spotlight on us. Play kick games in the bed, until somebody fell out of the bed and got in trouble. We would jump from bed to bed sometimes. I can't remember if it was Christmas Eve that Jo fell out of the window, jumping on the bed? Was it?
Singing and harmonies of unknown origin, fly through my mind on nights like this. I try not to make it make me miss the magic people flying through my life, right now.
I baked my cookies and now to the real stuff. Food for the day! Merry Christmas! the parent all nighter.
Yours, Mine and Ours is the movie that best shows what Christmas Eve is always like for the big family. Love and staying up all night so you almost miss it!
