5 Days To Go!

The Elves haven’t slept in days. They're working feverishly to get everything ready to go on the Big Night and ensure no kid is disappointed. It’s quite admirable, really, how dedicated they are.

Of course, they drink copious amounts of caffeinated hot cocoa to help keep the assembly lines moving. Personally, I can’t stand the stuff. It makes me gag. But they’ve been drinking it for quite a bit longer than I have.

They’ve gone pretty easy on me. Most of my major tasks are done and I’ve been trying to help out as much as I can. But mostly I’ve just been the big human getting in the way.

The list is finalized. Now, don’t go overboard and start doing bad things to your siblings or fellow man (or small animals!). Santa says that even if he finds out after the fact that you’ve been bad, you’ll find your gift disappearing in a couple weeks time. So, can’t say I didn’t warn you.

I’m not only counting down the days until Christmas, I’m counting down the days to see my lovely wife. I can’t wait! I wonder what she got me for Christmas...
