#8 I'm Dreaming of Christmas . . . and Something Else

I just might be looking forward to this Christmas more than any past Christmas in my personal history.

Just possibly.

You know—absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's true. Absence from sleep, especially. Santa won't need to double-check on me this Christmas Eve—I'll be sleeping like a log. Or a rock. Or a baby. Take your pick.

Now I'm thinking of a song. Guess which one.

No, don't guess. I'll tell you.

♫ I'm dreaming of a white Christmas! ♫

. . . The allure of this song is "dreaming," of course.

This Christmas I plan to be counting sheep. And not just the ones in the nativity set.
