Through the Eyes of Our Child: Megan's Christmas!

Hello!!!!  It's Megan.  How was my Christmas?  Let me tell you!  Christmas was good but I also liked advent which is what comes before Christmas.  Every day Mom and Dad let me open a door to my advent calendar and get a piece of candy!  I had learned a lot about baby Jesus at Sunday school, visited Santa, sang songs (I especially liked Jingle Bells), baked cookies with Mommy, watched Christmas movies like Rudolph, decorated the Christmas tree, colored pictures of Christmas trees and so much more!

I knew Christmas was getting close because everyone kept asking me what I wanted Santa to bring me for presents.  I really wanted all the presents so I first thought a camera and backpack would be nice but then I decided that I really wanted a choo-choo train and Homer the cat instead!  Mom and Dad were going to take me to visit the reindeer farm but when we got there all the reindeer were already gone up to the North Pole to get Santa's sleigh all ready for the big night.  And guess what?  That same night Santa send me a movie telling me that he was coming soon with some special things for me!!!!

Daddy said that when Santa comes he is very hungry so he needs cookies!  I picked out my favorite ones for him and Daddy helped me put them on a plate underneath the Christmas tree!!  When we woke up the next morning I noticed right away that the cookies were gone.  There were also a whole lot of presents, but not Homer the cat...

 

I waited real patiently to open presents and also helped Mommy make pancakes for breakfast.  Mickey Mouse pancakes too!!  When breakfast was over, guess what?  I got to open all the presents!  I started on one side of the tree and with each present, brought it to Mommy and said, "Who is this for?"  She would tell me (it was usually Megan or Owen) and then I would say, "OK.  Let's see what's inside." and then rip right into it!  And Grandpa Looloose, you would be so happy to know that I threw away all the wrapping paper away after every present!  Daddy said you'd like that.  

Santa must really know me well because so many presents were wrapped in Mickey Mouse paper - even though Donald wasn't on there.  I opened them real careful. Even Owen's.  

Yep, Minnie and Daisy jammies?  These are great!

And my BACK PACK!!!!!  I'm all ready for school now, Mom!!!

Santa brought me so much nice stuff it was hard to decide what to play with first!  Camera, movies, games and toys!  And Dad said we still got to go do more presents at my Grandparents houses!  Hooray!!  Grandma Mimic got me a kitchen for her place and Santa left a Doc McStuffins doll for me at Grandma Looloose's house!

"Daddy, can we put cookies out again tonight?"
