Journaling:
Everything about the holidays are so magical. From planning how to surprise loved ones with the perfect gift to the holiday meal to magic reindeer food. Children just bring a whole new sense of wonder to it all and you were no exception. This year, you were particularly concerned if you were a good girl and if Santa would really come. You took a small step in conquering your fear of the big guy when youbravely walked up to him and accepted your gift at school...though I doubt well ever have a photo of you sitting on his lap and thats okay. There is an excite-ment surrounding the holidays that you just radiate and its contagious. Trueto form, you slept in until after eight a.m. on Christmas morning, but once youwoke up you were anxious to see if Santa had come the night before. You weregenuinely pleased with all of your gifts and the joy was evident on your face. Itreasure the sense of magic and wonder you bring to our days, Abigail. Thank you!
