I had to coax Kyle back to his bed this morning at 3am, telling him that it was way too early and he needed to stay there a bit longer before joining Chantale and I in our bed.
He came to join us at 5:30am 🙂 Now, I would normally not let him (let’s say 6am should be the earliest) but seeing as I had to get up to come to work, I figured, “why not?” After snuggling in for a bit, he suddenly sits up and says to me, “Babbo Natale…uhm… cadeux a Kyle!” reminding us of what we had been telling him for the last little while (and last night). That, today, Santa Claus would be coming to give gifts to Kyle. 🙂 Too cute 🙂
Coming in this morning was surreal. It always feels that way when it’s still very dark outside, the roads are CLEAR of both traffic and weather, and the people in the train are sparse. I enjoyed the drive (KT Tunstall on the CD) and the train (reading Back Issue #4’s Byrne/Claremont Pro2Pro). A very relaxing 2 hours when you add in the walk from the train station to a very deserted downtown!! 🙂
So, I’m once again in a great mood, rested even through a couple of hours of sleep only, looking forward to the time off and the sharing of gifts, food, and moments with family, the house FULL of kids, and story ideas just bouncing around my head like crazy! 🙂
In other words, I’ve been having a really great couple of days and it’s still going! 🙂 A very hectic Saturday consisted of getting up early to get a haircut and then head off to the Post Office to mail out Comicopia #104. I also took the opportunity to give the woman at the counter an Xmas gift! She’s been taking such great care of all my mailing needs since I moved into the area that I wanted to thank her. I did this by giving her a personalized copy of my novel! She was so touched and thrilled that it made my day 🙂
The rest of the day was just as fun and with the evening consisting of a great supper with all the kids plus our best friends Francisco and Line, it made it all that much more enjoyable and wonderful 🙂
Anyhow, seeing as I’ll be on LJ sporadically, I wanted to take a moment now and wish you all the Happiest of Holidays and the Best of Times for the New Year! All your dreams and wishes will come true if you honestly believe in them!! 🙂
And in the immortal words/ voices of Steve Perry from Journey: “Don’t Stop! Believing! Hold on to that feeling!” 🙂
