Porte Ponderings:

The night we’ve been waiting for. The elves are doing last minute preparations before Santa starts his journey.

Family gatherings ending early enough so Milk and cookies can be put out. Children go to bed in anticipation of what is left during the night.

My fondest memories are of my sisters and I sneaking up at 4AM to see the tree lit and all the presents in anticipation of opening them once Mom and Dad made breakfast. Magic. Excitement.

May the magic of the season continue in your home. ❤
