I’m dreaming of a White Christmas.


I’m just off to bed, after another wonderful day with the family here in New Jersey

There was great excitement after dinner, when Santa delivered two sacks full of new pj’s outside the front door. The children rushed out to see what was happening, but they were just too late to actually see Santa flying away on his sleigh.

Little Max loved his Batman pj’s so much, that he climbed up on the coffee table to show them off.

After the children were all in bed, all the presents were brought up from the basement and stacked under the tree. This is just the front; there are many more behind.

The stockings are all lined up ready for morning.

The letters have been written to Santa and answered, together with the half eaten cookies, and the reindeer chomped carrot.

The stage is set, and just to make it all perfect, it started to snow this evening.

I’m off to bed now to dream of a ‘White Christmas’. Wishing you all a very merry and joyous day tomorrow. My South African family and friends will probably be up already, and those in England won’t be far behind. Enjoy your Christmas Day. πŸ™‚

  6. That last picture of the snow falling outside the house is priceless and beautiful. I can’t stand the snow but there’s something magical about a white Christmas nonetheless.

  8. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. I envision quite the festive occasion there! πŸ™‚ … Meanwhile, Cincinnati is currently getting a storm …. should be an interesting day with opposite sides of town getting vastly different results. So far I’m on the rain side.

  9. That is a priceless, magical Christmas. The smiles of joy and excitement on the children’s faces were just beyond words. Expressions of wonder and happiness. Merry Christmas my friend. I wish you and your family all the love, happiness, peace, great health and many awesome adventures today and everyday.

  10. Everything is beautiful and picture perfect. What fun. Nothing is better than Christmas with kids! You definitely did something – many things right! Continued fun for your trip. πŸ™‚

  21. Your grandkids are adorable. Having said that, let me greet you and your family a wonderful white Christmas and a happy new year.
    One of these days, I will be able to catch up with reading your posts. I’m sorry – life got a little more hectic these last weeks. πŸ™‚

    • Thanks so much, Imelda. The snow didn’t last but it looked really beautiful last night for the photo. I’m also very behind with visiting all my blog friends. I have 600 e-mails. 😯
