"Twas the night before the night before Christmas and we were all just hanging out around the house. Suddenly, there arose such a clatter--bells ringing and some "Ho, Ho, Ho's" that Jackson and Cole bolted to the door. Somehow in all the excitement, Cole got tangled up with an iron candle holder and really hurt his cheek (we were surprised it didn't split it open!) and what was supposed to be sheer delight started with tears. Poor Santa didn't know what to do! Though I'm sure he's experienced some tears with children on his lap who are afraid of him, this was a totally unexpected welcome. Hurt as he was, Cole toughed it out and soon the surprise visit was joyful! Jackson had his usual round of questions for the Jolly Old Man, but Santa knew all the answers and once again this year, WE BELIEVE ! Santa had us sing some songs with him and he told us stories about how all the reindeer are doing--and what kind of jokes they like to play on Santa. Carson wasn't so sure about the whole thing, but Laila overcame her fear of Santa and she, Jackson and Cole cuddled right up to him for this picture. Thanks, Santa! Oh, and tell our friend, Ping, that he's the best!
