Santa came early to our house, by special arrangement, allowing us a day to play with our new things before the need to travel.
In his honor, we made "Santa Claus" out of our new PlayDough, and played many other things besides -- including our pretend naps. From which we had to wake up, because there was a monster.
He was singing.
Christmas carols.
Since evidently even the monsters are in a holiday mood these days, I wish the best of holidays and festivities to you and yours.
May you find the sort of excitement and joy in your stockings that only something on par with M&M's from Santa can deliver.
