Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house.....
yada, yada, yada....
sitting in the rocking chair, watching tv with the little ones and out of nowhere I hear a "thump".
I turn the tv down and the older one says, "Mom, turn it up, I can't hear."
"Shhhhh," I reply, "I thought I heard something."
We sat. Waited. We actually heard sleigh bells coming from above outside.
Child jumps for the window and I tell her, "No! We gotta get to bed. I bet that's really Santa!"
So she runs for her bedroom.... en route, she proclaims, "Holy Smokes, Mom!!"
Now that was the funniest thing that happened. Well, following a close second would be at my parent's house..... the image pulling into the driveway and seeing my father on a ladder with rabbit ears and duct tape getting ready for the Cowboys to lose.
