twas the night before presents

so we have just finished wrapping Christmas presents. The same thing every year. Wait till they finally sleep and we wrap. Yahoo.com has 24 hours Christmas songs so we listen and wrap. The most difficult part is every year H leaves carrots , reindeer food(wild bird seed) milk and a handmade present for Santa. Then she writes a 2 page disseration explaining who gets what .do you like my present, how is Mrs. Claus blah blah blah and always asks that he writes back. The writing back from Santa isn't too bad , it's the handwriting. She now demands a letter from the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny too! I am having difficulty making each letter have different handwiting. Not letting it look like my writing or the other "legendary figures"
every year I say I will get a friend to write Santa's reply and every year I forget.
The kids were extremely excited today tracking Santa on Norad (NORAD is the bi-national U.S.-Canadian military organization responsible for the aerospace and maritime defense of the United States and Canada). they also track Santa. very cool.
Am tired. Looking forward to tomorrow. love watching the kids rip open their prezzies. this year we gave in a bought a W ii. Wanted to charge up the handsets tonight so we could use them tomorrow morn and almost cried looking at the instructions. These were "putting the rechargable batteries in the handset" instructions. Nothing too tough. Man am I screwed for tomorrow. D is an engineer. I will let him figure it out. too tired.

Merry Christmas and Happy hannukh. or as mom sends the kids cards that say "happy hannumas"
