I love love love Fridays!!!

And, unfortunately, in 1 more minute it will be over.

It’s Christmas Eve!

Santa Clause comes to our house on Christmas Eve.

He started doing that a few years back when Ben and I were still drinking (before Will came along).

It was super convenient back then. Ben would take Sam on a 4 wheeler ride and while they were gone Santa would show up. He would put all of the gifts under the tree, fill the stockings, and be gone before Ben and Sam returned. 

Everyone was jolly when the gifts were opened. Sam didn’t have to experience the overnight anxiety and sleeplessness anticipating the morning gift opening tradition. The hungover parents got to sleep in on Christmas morning. It was such a win-win situation we kept the tradition even after we  got sober. 

Will doesn’t know any different. It’s fabulous! 

I’ve got about 7 hours to go until my alarm goes off. My gym closes at 1pm today so we’ve got to get it done early. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
