T'was the Night Before Christmas

Just before bed on Christmas Eve, the kids are allowed to open one present - funny how often they choose to open one from a grandparent.  Without the mass amount of getting, they are always thrilled with that first present.  Full of anticipation and excitement, they set out milk and cookies for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer.  Then off to bed - I'm pretty sure they tossed and turned for quite a while trying to calm their giddy minds until finally they succumbed to their dreams of sugarplums.  And then the magic began...
Sleep comes hard to me too - I just can't wait for the morning.
