One More Sleep

I got a little confused this morning. I thought Santa came down our chimney last night.

I woke up early today and while Daddy was in the shower and Mommy was still sleeping I went downstairs to check my stocking. By myself I'm a little too short to reach my stocking but I figured out that with the bathroom stool, I'm just the right height. Guess what! There was something in my stocking. It was a black lump wrapped up in a kleenex. Santa's not very good a wrapping things nicely. I hope this isn't the lump of coal Mommy told me about. No bus though. I was really disappointed.

Mommy told me that because it's usually the first year that kids my age know what to do, sometimes Santa checks on 3 year olds a little before Christmas to make sure they are going to bed on time and are being good. Mommy said he must have checked on me last night and since I was asleep by 8:00 and I was good all day he left me a piece of chocolate.

I'm going to try and be good for the rest of today and get to bed early again. Tonight, I hope Santa brings me a red bus.

Note: Joy put a few things into Avi's stocking early. He didn't think Avi could reach his stocking. From now on, we'll have to wait until Avi is fully asleep on Christmas Eve and Joy will have to make sure he wraps his gifts a little better.

Since chocolate is one of Avi's favourite foods, I'm VERY surprised he didn't recognize the "black lump" as a piece of dark chocolate. He really must have been worried about getting a lump of coal in his stocking.
