The strangest thing happened today (today meaning Christmas Eve... silly blog didn't post it till much later!)... I felt like I could just read Santa's mind. Weird. We musta had a brain connection or something. A temporary psychic experience.
I could tell Santa felt like he was mostly done, ready to go, but little things were still looming. No big deal, right? That's what the elves are for! Lucky Santa. Lucky to have all those helpers.
And then, Santa had the feeling that he was so good at hiding things, that he might've lost a few. Aww. Poor Santa. Poor guy. I'm sure it'll all work out. It's not like it happens like that every year, right? Or maybe it does.
Santa tries not to be stressed out, I mean it's so close to the best day of the year, right? It says so right in the song. But he is stressed. Just a tad. Have an extra cup of coffee, Santa, my man. Not like you'll be sleeping tonight anyway. But no worries, 'cuz you're Magic. And Magic doesn't need to sleep, does it?
And speaking of sleep... and I could REALLY feel this one....I guess I was wrong about Magic and sleep... ... Santa was just so darn tired he wanted to curl up in nice warm blankets and take a long nap. Not the long winter's nap like in the story (that's a bunch of crap anyway, I definitely felt that thought), but just a nap. A regular one. But naps are like fantasy land for Santa. Keep movin,' Santa. Keep movin.' No rest for the weary.
So Santa, he's magical, right, but he's also just like a normal person. So he made a list. Not THAT list... stop thinking of books and stories! So anyway, he made a list, just of things to do today and tonight... and hopefully that will keep him on track. And then he felt a little better. And I was happy to know that Santa felt a little better. 'Cause no one needs Santa being stressed out at Christmas time, right? Definitely not.
So after that I tried to use that brain connection in reverse... just send a little love and support... and tell Santa that he's done a good job, that everything's gonna work out fine. Children will be happy and Merry, family will be loving as always and Christmas 2013 will be the Best Day Ever!
And hopefully when it's all said and done maybe he can get that nap. Good luck, Santa!!
Welcome to our little piece of the web! This blog began as a way to update family with our progress on renovating a local farmhouse that we purchased in 2012, but it quickly morphed into family and life updates as our small business took off and we added more children to the family.
