Christmas Eve

It's hard to believe that nearly a whole year has passed by and it's now December 24th of 2002. Where does the time go? I can remember when I was a kid and this date, to me, was the longest day of the year, as far as I was concerned. I think I actually liked this day better than Christmas Day. It would be hard for me to get to sleep, I was so excited. I loved looking at the lights outside on the neighborhood houses. And listening to the Christmas music that my dad would play on the stereo. (On 33 1/3 vinyls!) Finally, I would nod off at around 2:00am. Only to have my sister waker me up around 5:00am. And we would go down and open all our presents. I remember one year, we tried to keep one present wrapped, each, so our parents would get to see us unwrap at least one present. But, we didn't make it. I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas!
