Holiday spirit

Just twelve days before Christmas and already a Secret Santa has begun raising the kids' anticipation of the holiday. This morning, there was a package on our front porch with some goodies inside and a little note:

On the first day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

But I have no partridge bird
And no pear tree.
So how about some M&M Mini's
For you Tina, Mindy and Miguel --
For all of you three.

Love,
Secret Santa

Geez, the kids were all yelling and delighted. I couldn't help but smile at their excitement in something they feel is magical. Something I know I could learn from. Tomorrow, on the second day of Christmas, we'll see what other magic comes knocking at the door.
