Christmas Elves

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,

for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

I heard the pitter patter of tiny feet last night...

There must be some very busy bodies in this house into the wee hours of the night...

This morning I found evidence of a little visitor...

...or two...

Hmm...some little Christmas elves perhaps.

Oh the joy of the creation of anticipation, of participating in the element of surprise.

What a delight it is to be a parent!
