The morning of Christmas to me is the most magical part of the day. You know that Santa has arrived and you are so close to opening up all of your presents—the excitement keeps building.  The first thing we do on Christmas morning is open our stockings.

I am hoping this year is the year I go to at least one, hopefully both. Sometimes I think about going over to Europe by myself for 2 months……. but I have seen Taken way too many times to do it.
