It is hard to believe that two mere mortals could pull off what you do for Christmas. Even with the hundreds of hours you spend and the months of thought and preparation, it is mind-boggling that you are able to shop for, organize and wrap the perfect gifts for 23 kids and 11 adults! Then, at the end of all the shopping, wrapping, list-making, cookie decorating, tree trimming, sleepless nights and last-minute mall runs, you host a delicious dinner, put together a wonderful program and let us enjoy your beautiful home and each others' company until far beyond a reasonable hour. We imagine that you completely collapse when the last grandchildren are loaded in their car clutching their own plates of goodies. Hardly will you have time to soak your weary feet before we all return, the children with stories to tell about Santa and the treasures he brought and the adults craving not only your endless cookies, but the camaraderie and comfort of family. You have given us a treasure far more valuable than anything Santa could fit down our chimneys. Thank you for your holiday traditions that bind us together into one big, wonderful group. We love you!

It was perfect. Wasn't it. I'm almost sad it is over. Good thing I can continue my chocolate coma tomorrow after breakfast. :) Can't wait to hear the details of your morning tomorrow.
