He knows when you've been bad all day...

... So be good for good mistake!

This is Alicia's version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". I think she'll make it as a songwriter.

It's Christmas Eve and our living room is relatively tidy. That should change dramatically by tomorrow morning.

Santa's workshop has been busily wrapping gifts for the Littlejohn household and has realized they may have gone slightly overboard in the pink & purple gift department.

Tonight we'll go out for chinese food in Eagle River and then head to the candlelight Christmas Eve service at 8pm. The kids will open one gift from under the tree and then scurry off to bed with delusions of yearlong good behavior dancing in their heads.

Alicia's in the tub right now with some Dora the Explorer bubble bath. She wants to smell good for Christmas!

I've got to go deliver some shortbread to our neighbors. Tess is babysitting while her client does some last minute shopping. Stephen is working a half day today then heading out to do his standard Christmas Eve shopping with all the other husbands out there. As far as I know, Donald is still in bed.

I think I'll lay down for a nap this afternoon when Alicia does. Although I hate to waste good daylight hours on sleep. But I have a feeling I'll be needing to stock up.
