Santa came early

Merry Christmas, everyone!

When I was young, I learned from my parents that if you were going on a trip over Christmas and you wrote Santa a note, he would often come early to your house. It probably saves him a bit of work on the big night.  We asked Santa to stop by overnight, so the kids woke to find their gifts under the tree.

Santa also brought the kids their first headphones.

And Santa brought the keyboard and karaoke station. It was a big hit.

Today also brought snow on the hills.

It was very pretty!
