Night Before Christmas

Night Before Christmas
Originally uploaded by dyrlac.

At bedtime on Christmas Eve we read Twas the Night Before Christmas, in pop-up book format. That made it a hit with Nat. (Henry is still looking on). The copy is one from Deirdre's childhood, but the life-expectancy of pop-up books in our household is not high, so it is strictly a season book despite Nat's frequent request for "Christmas Book".

I am ambivalent about Santa as there is really nothing even remotely sensible about his operations, but Deirdre is keen, so I'm outvoted.
