TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

[cannongal]

I have a baby in my house on Christmas for the first time in years.   One of my neighbors down the street does not have a generator,  but she does have a 4 year old and a 3 month old.   I was heading out to run an errand yesterday,  and saw her sitting in her car in the driveway,   stopped to let her know that I could pick up whatever she needed,  so she didn't have to drag the kids out in the cold (it's been like 10 degrees here since Friday night).   Found out she was in the car trying to keep her kids warm because she had no power and therefore no heat.  Made her follow me back to my place and got them settled into a guest room.    We just finished grabbing all the presents from her place,  and to be honest,  I can't wait for the 4 year old to wake up and realize that santa found her here and left presents.      Christmas is for kids,  after all. 

Merry Christmas!
