After the golf lesson, we stayed home the rest of the day.  The boys played some video games and later Cole came over to play with them.  By the late afternoon, we finally put together the ginger bread house and made some chocolate dipped pretzels for Santa.  When we were finished, we put on our annual video Grinch to watch.  Afterwards we watched Muppet Christmas Carols as well and we all loved it.  By then i finally felt that we had built up my Christmas spirit and I was more ready!  The boys set up the snack and milk for Santa, and rushed to bed to anticipate the arrival of Christmas.  However both boys came out later as they were just too excited to sleep.  After they went to sleep, Stuart and I watched the Elf too.  I think we have found ourselves more videos to consider watching annually.
