Christmas Day

Today is Christmas Day! I was so excited when I woke up that I wanted to run downstairs right away to see if Santa came. The living room is dark though and Mommy and Daddy were still sleeping so I had to wake them up. When I FINALLY got them out of bed, I ran downstairs, got the stool from the bathroom (to reach my stocking), then dashed into the living room. Under my bulging stocking there was a BIG, gold and shiny present from Santa. Do you think he found a red bus in his workshop? No, it was an articulated bus! How did he know that I need one of those?


Santa left even more buses in my stocking. I got a wooden, yellow bus just like the one I saw in the Kids' Market yesterday and I also got a new, red, automatic Bertie. Santa was very nice to me.


After opening my stocking, we all went to Grandpa's house for breakfast and more presents. I was very excited to open gifts from all my aunties and uncles. Grandpa made eggs, biscuits, fruit salad and sausages and we HAD to eat breakfast and take a family picture before we were allowed to open anything. It took forever! Finally it was time to open our gifts. There was wrapping paper everywhere. I got so many nice gifts from everyone.


I played for a little while at Grandpa's house but then started to get tired. It's been a busy couple of days. Mommy and Daddy took me home and I went for a long nap. When I woke up, there were still more gifts to open from all my friends. Lots more buses and a really cool one that's a book that opens up to become a bus I can sit in.


Soon we were back in the car again going back to Grandpa's house for dinner. There's been a lot of driving around today. As usual, there was a lot of food on the table and we had a nice full-circle dinner.


Christmas has been a very exciting day. I got lots of buses this year and I think the buses will have to have a meeting so they can meet my new ones. Mommy tells me that tomorrow we are going to stay home. I can't wait to play with all my new toys.
