Christmas Eve was a busy day - my mom was up and out before we ever woke up. I met her at the cemetary to put flowers on my dad's grave, and then I had to pick up some last minute stocking stuffers at Walmart (which, surprisingly, wasn't even a madhouse). We wrapped and cooked and baked the rest of the day, except for a few minutes when we went to visit my old babysitters. Then we went to Christmas Eve communion at my mom's church, before going to my aunt's house for our annual Christmas Eve gathering with family.
Then we went home to prepare for Santa's arrival. I have to admit that we hadn't made any Christmas cookies, so we left Santa some Christmas candy and candy-coated pretzels and a glass of milk and we left some cheese for Santa Mouse. Santa loved it! We finished all wrapping and setting things out, and Santa finally left around 2:30 a.m., and he and Santa Mouse left Rebecca a note. While she didn't understand it this year, we'll keep it for her for future years.
