I was reminiscing how we celebrated Christmas when the kids were little. We didn't like everything squeezed together in a few days, so we decided to have Santa come to our house Christmas Eve morning. The kids were little and didn't know that it really wasn't Christmas day. That way, Mike's Mom, Dad, Mema and Uncle John could come over and watch the kids open their gifts. We loved it, Mike's Mom enjoyed it because then she could take time Christmas morning preparing for our Christmas lunch and not be rushed.
We never considered what our neighbors would think of this situation. Imagine telling your children that Santa was coming on Christmas day and they look outside on Christmas Eve morning and the neighbor kids are out playing with their new Christmas toys! Ryan and Kara proudly shouting, "Look what Santa brought us!" and pushing and riding their new Little Tykes fire engine or riding their new bikes, etc. I am sure they had some explaining to do. Oh well, didn't you know that Santa comes early for the best of children!
