Santa Came a Little Early

My whole family was together for Thanksgiving and we knew wouldn't see each other again until after the New Year.  So we decided to call our holiday "Thanksmas".  At least, that's what the kids kept calling it.  We ate turkey and opened gifts all within 24 hours so it seemed a fitting title to our little holiday time.  With six kids opening a mound of presents each, it was a bit of a wrapping paper flurry.  But that's part of the fun of it.  It was a lovely, festive mess, filled with awed expressions and laughter.
