Christmas Eve Morning

Twas the morning before Christmas and only one more day to wait. Then it would be the December 25th date. The children where whining about opening a gift from under the tree. First they asked dad and he left the decision to me. I asked the kids to wait until the next day, that's how we did it when I was little, what can I say! "Wait" they wailed, "we simply can't!" The gifts they wanted were from Alaska from their Uncle and Aunt. Yes, I finally told them and away at the paper they tore to see what the packages they received bore. And what to their wondering eyes did appear? Two Transformers for Alec, two books for Alecia,

oh dear! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Uncle and Auntie was all they could say as they scrambled from the floor with their gifts to go play!
