Holiday Magic

What do YOU leave for Santa? Are you a believer? This year, my little believer, Abbey Grace, brought out the spirit in us all on Christmas Eve and several days leading up to Christmas Eve. This little elf by the name of "Elfy" appeared from the Northpole unexpectedly (by way of my grandmother Spears, Abbey Grace's great-grandmother) and decidedly "moved about" the house from place to place on his own. He sometimes sat on the floor, sometimes he sat on the counter, the dresser, by the front door, in the living room, on the sofa or the chair. He just "moved" with a spirit. Thus, we decided to ask Santa if it were appropriate that we keep him, or, if he needed to be returned to the Northpole to do his good deeds?

Here is a photo of Christmas Eve - Abbey Grace has set the coffee table in the den with cookies, egg nog, a letter to Santa (along with a buck eye for good luck from her dresser, a penny for good luck) and a pencil for Santa to use to mark his response of whether she could keep Elfy or not?

We went out into the driveway along the sidewalk and spread "Reindeer Food" so Santa's Team would have a snack to eat as he did his work.

Being diligent with the food was key!

Finally, the note to Santa!
