The Hardest Part

This is the hardest part of Christmas for me. I have been up since 4am because I can't sleep. I can't wait for the kids to come down and see the Christmas tree, the presents, their once empty stockings full and see the looks on their faces. The joy on their faces with the reality Santa has come is priceless. It is 5am now and I am cooking cinnamon rolls in hopes the noise in the kitchen will wake them up. All the lights are on and Christmas music playing and yet they sleep. How much longer am I to wait....
