Ah... I now remember what Christmas was like as a child. I remember the slowness of Christmas Eve followed by the pleasant chaos of Christmas day. I remember the wait as the anticipation builds and builds until the excitement of opening presents on Christmas morning. I remember having difficulty getting to sleep on Christmas Eve hoping for the morning to come, maybe even before I fell asleep.
With children, I have been able to relive this anticipation and sense of happiness and wonder for many years. But with my youngest already informing me that Santa is a known known as opposed to an unknown known, I had thought that things would be different and there would be less of that wonder.
Well, through more good luck than good planning, I received an email yesterday that my "car sized box" with my full scale car kit was arriving in town. Wow, Christmas two days early. I got off to sleep without difficulty with visions of car parts dancing in my head. And this morning was not a sleep-in day. Although I don't have to rush off to work for the next few days, I couldn't keep my brain from filling with excitement for the coming day. If all works out, I will have my FFR kit delivered today from the freight dock.
Now the fun part (and the work) begins.
