Only 292 days to go...

We're well into March.

And my child:

• Carries a toy elf everywhere
• Regularly requests we sing The Baby Jesus Song (Silent Night)
• Responds enthusiastically, "Santa bringed me this!" in reference to her Christmas toys, chapstick, bandaids, or anything else that was in her stocking
• Requests to watch Elf (the movie) on a daily basis
• Sang herself Jingle Bells to bed tonight

In hindsight, I'd say Christmas 2008 was a raging success.
