that Christmas for young children is a wondrous place.
Here we are on the verge of the first full week of the New Year and soon busy lives will engage with all that 2010 is bringing. So I wanted to share with you something truly magical that happened early on Christmas morning in the Derham house.
Our little four year old woke us at 4 o’clock Christmas morning crying.
“Father Christmas hasn’t come”, he struggled to tell us through his tears.
Then he saw his stocking.
“Oh He Did Come “
“I have been a good boy after all!”
And with that he settled back to sleep.

Bob,
That is a great story; at this age, childrens’ association of ideas generates some wonderful moments.
Your photo of your son caused to me do a double take! It looked so much like a photo of our five year old, that I immediately wondered what it was doing on the blog; this was before I’d seen the topic of your post.
We had similar excitement, with one significant difference: our son did not go back to sleep!
