They've been keeping a very close eye on Santa's progress and just discovered he has reached the Netherlands.  Abbie Rose came running downstairs to say she saw a red light in the sky.  It was decided that was most likely Rudolph and small people had best hurry to bed. So off we go. : ) 

"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."

~Laura Ingalls Wilder

Wishing you a wondrous, magical Christmas.
