Day 33: I love Christmas Eve!

Not matter how I am feeling through out the month of December, I am always excited on Christmas Eve! There is just something so fun and wonderful and magical about that night. I love surprises and Christmas is a day of surprises!

This year, I am particularly excited because tonight I get the privilege of introducing my oldest to a tradition that started when I was 12 - playing Santa's helper.

It is going to be so cool. Santa will have already come & gone, but K will be the helper who puts a fun surprise into Steve's stocking. She hasn't said anything this year about "who Santa really is", but she said enough last year that we know that she knows.

This is a fun way of letting her in on the fun. My grandmother and older brother did it for me and I have loved Santa Clause all the more for it. I am hoping it will be true for K as well.

As for walking...well, today was one of the hardest days to get it in, but I did!!! I have made a promise to myself and I just can't break that promise. Not now, not when I am doing so well.

Merry Christmas!
