Sleepless Excitement

Wide-eyed children lying awake Unable to sleep, Christmas Eve All the little ones who believe, Listen for sounds Santa will make So excited their bellies ache.

Thank you so much, Lasaad. I believe I have three or four great grandchildren now. I lose count! Happy Holidays, my dear friend.

Yes, it certainly is, Tom. I remember when my kids were just tots. It was so exciting.
