No nightmares before christmas please

I hope ya'll know that in this western country, the gifts are opened on the morning of the 25th of December. I know, this hurts. And don't forget the 9 hour time difference between Sweden and west coast Cali time. Dubble hurt. Patience baby, patience.

When I was younger my moma would always (make that every other year when my brother and I would remember to remind her) read the poem "The Night Before Christmas" on the 23rd of December. She knew it by heart and would hold the book in front of us teeny-boppers so we could do our annual inspection every page of this poetic miracle.
