12 times I used "better be a nice boy or Santa won't come bring any presents" to get Darius in line on Christmas Eve.
11 Christmas cards we received even though we sent out 50. Where's the love, people???
10 gift cards given. Partially because I was a lazy shopper and partially because D's school had a fundraiser with gift cards. If you ask, I'll deny the lazy part.
9 pictures taken on Christmas morning, beating my record for the last two years (which was zero).
8 hours of Christmas music on CD. If I could get away with it, we'd listen year round. Nothing makes me feel more festive that classic Christmas music.
7 days of eye drops for the entire family. We all got pink eye on Christmas day! Not exactly thoughtful gift giving from the kid that infected us.
6 presents left by Santa at our house. But wouldn't you know that Santa also visited every friend and family member too. I think Darius ended up with about 20 shiny wrapped presents (and we still have a visit to Nana's house on Saturday).
5 hours of sleep on Christmas Eve night.
4 cookies left for Santa (and later eaten by me)
3 people that didn't follow our "no toys" rule this year. Which means three toys that will be returned. I was serious when I said that we didn't want toys.
2 hours of Christmas clean-up. Yes, my house is already back to normal after having Christmas decorations up since Thanksgiving.
1 boy who found the magic of Christmas
