Shhh, Sierra is asleep, fresh froom her bath and smelling like clementine oranges, and baby powder. She is all tucked in, clutching her extra "binky's" in case, she loses one, and snuggled up next to her toy figurine of woody, and I am sure that she is dreaming sweetly of
Tonight we may have started a new Christmas tradition, because i let her help to place her presents under the Christmas tree, and as a reward she was allowed to open one.
I have sucessfully converted her into the religion of
Santa Claus, and I have to admit, now that she wholeheartedly believes that a fat old guy in a tatty red velvet suit with fake fur trim is going to break into our house, while we are all sleeping and leave her a dora the explorer table and chairs set...because elves were secretly spying on her for months to see if she has been naughty or nice, well... I feel kind of guilty.
I am having her believe. in something. that someday. is just gonna disappoint her.
I remember the moment, i quasi realized that santa might not be real. It is like waking up to fast, from a wonderful dream. I wanted to lull myself back into the possibilities of it all, and cling a little longer. to the hope that so much MAGICALNESS could actually exist, and that somewhere, my name really did appear on the offical north pole "nice" list...
because all my life.
I have been nice.
hmm, sure wish I had squeezed in more naughty. when I had the chance.
P.S. Since we have so many pets, this should help set the scene for tomorrow
Merry Christmas, to one and all.
