We had to bake Santa 3 different kinds of cookies because Kaelin insisted that he have a variety because she did not know what kind was his favorite. So we cooked chocolate chip with pecans, peanut butter with Hershey kisses, and white chocolate macadamia nut. She also set out a glass of chocolate milk to wash down the cookies.
Kaelin had to put reindeer sprinkles in the yard so the reindeer would have something to eat while Santa was delivering the presents.
Kaelin had a great idea...
She decided to leave Santa a movie to watch. She set up her little DVD player and put in Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation. She insisted that Santa would like to watch a movie. (Which he did).
Kaelin thought Rudolph might have been tired of eating carrots, so she left him a box of cherry tomatoes and grapes. He ate everything except two grapes.
We helped her write Santa a letter and then she was off to bed.
I can honestly tell you that this was the best Christmas ever. Kaelin's face stayed lit up brighter than our Christmas tree. Every morning she would look around for Reddy (her elf), she would plug in all of the Christmas decorations, and everything even closely related to Christmas just brought pure joy to her. Kaelin brought the magic back into Christmas and that made it so much fun.
And of course we got our special little Christmas present a little before Christmas. This also contributed to a wonderful Christmas.
