Molly is five and very excited.
Tonight, when we were having dinner together, Molly asked if she
could go to bed right after dinner. Normally she goes to bed between
7:30 and 8:00, and at that time of asking, it was 7:00. Molly goes
to bed well but she often does not really want to go to bed. But tonight
she wanted to go to bed right after dinner. When I asked why, it
turned out that she thought that if she went to bed early, perhaps Santa would
come early, especially as she had been very good.
Right after dinner, Molly put on her pajamas,
brushed her teeth and went to bed. Christina tucked her in and not a peep
did we hear from Molly. I think she might have figured out that if she is
really well behaved she might get more presents!! It's a good lesson to
learn early. It will last a life time. Clever child.
Ken and I are enjoying taking part in all the Creath family Christmas
traditions. Everyone is very gracious to include us in the events.
Tonight we all attended Christmas Eve candlelight service together, at
Highlands Presbyterian Church. Lots of carols and scripture readings,
along with a short sermon and we were out in an hour. Mexican food at
Andrew and Christina's for dinner, which is a Texas tradition. David and
Suzanne send the food to us each Christmas. Good food and lovely
tradition. Our Mississippi Christmas is just fine.
