The Night Before Christmas 2013

Well, this is it. This is the last night I will be spending in my Holiday Home. The Jolly Guy will be here to pick me up soon. I love coming to Ohio to visit my Holiday Family, but I hate to leave. I miss them during the year, and I know that they miss me, too. As usual, my Christmas tradition on this night is to read The Night Before Christmas. I'm going to grab a cookie and settle in for a long winter's nap.

Reading Material

Well, that evening of fun and games didn't go quite as planned.  I had a blast playing out in the snow.  However, I had a little trouble with my wind gliding stunt.  The first several wind gliding jumps from the roof went perfectly.  Then the last one, well... as you can see, didn't end quite as well.

I got stuck in a tree in the front yard.  Rudy tried to get me down, but the more he worked on the strings, the more tangled I got.  I told him to just leave me there until my Holiday Family woke up and found me.  Of course, I asked him to snap a quick picture of my mischief so I could post it on my blog for memories.  Thank goodness Holiday Dad got me down in the morning

As is tradition... I am going to spend my last full night at my Holiday Home cuddled up with a sweet treat, a cup of cocoa and a good book.  'Twas The Night Before Christmas is a classic and is a must read book for December 24th.  I'll be leaving with Santa soon to head back to The Pole.  I will miss my Holiday Family.  But, for now, I'm going to enjoy my time here.

Beautiful Lights

I would like to say a great big Thank you to C & T for taking me along tonight when they went to see the Christmas Lights.  They went to a place called Fantasy of Lights and it was beautiful.  They took along my blanket and even my bed and held me up so I could see out the windows.  It really was so great and made me feel at home (but without the snow). 
I can hardly believe Christmas is so close.  Tonight I found the Twas The Night Before Christmas book.  I decided to sit down and read it... It's one of my favorites. 

 

And while we were driving around tonight in the car, I overheard holiday Mom & Dad say that they were going to take C & T to see a movie tomorrow.  I hope they see Arthur Christmas... I heard it was really good.  Maybe they can take me along... I've never seen a movie in a theater before.  Although, they'd have to keep me hidden since elves aren't very common to see out and about.  I am leaving them coupons for the theater... I'm sure they'll have fun no matter what they see.

I also found holiday Mom's red and green nail polish and decided to use it to paint a little Christmas spirit.  I hope she doesn't mind.

A Nice Quiet Evening

I had a nice quiet evening here tonight.  Just read some books and had a candy cane.  It was very relaxing and just what I needed after all the running around I did Tuesday night with Lanny.  I brought the boys a new book.  It's a look and find book and I hope they really like it.
