lists

we gather the inks and stamps.

they decorate the fronts, borders, or every white space in little's case.

then we discuss...

things we have done at our friends' houses.

ideas of what would be cool.

if it needs to go on more than one list to stress the importance.

seeds are planted.

others deemed if possible for santa.

finishing off the list of demands...

thoughts of well wishes, safe travels, and requests for our elves.

the yearly viewing of home alone with grammagrampa.

traditions in full swing.
