‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…

I cannot wait to read this with my daughter tonight. I’ve made sure to read the poem every Christmas Eve, no matter my age. I can’t wait to start this little tradition with my girl.

It’s Christmas Eve everyone. Time for a night of magic, joy, and calm. When you can, relax. Pick up a book, lay down with a face mask, listen to Christmas music, sit in the dark with only the tree on. Make sure to do something for yourself…
