Because it is tradition they also read The Night Before Christmas.
Addy read it aloud with her perfect teacher voice and showed the illustrations on each page just as a teacher would.
Samantha, Rebecca, and Kirsten were captivated by Addy's good story telling techniques.
When the story was over they put out a big pile of cookies, candy canes, and milk for Santa.
"Kirsten, can you believe that Santa Claus will be here in our little house any minute!"
"I know Addy! It's so exciting! We better get to sleep fast!"
"Psst, Samantha, do you think we will hear Santa when he is leaving our presents under the tree?"
"Of course not Rebecca. Santa is like magic. He can do his job so quickly and quietly you won't even know he's come and gone. Now go to sleep so he can come!"
Soon, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Just as Samantha told Rebecca, Santa came and went without a sound. The girls slept deeply though his entire visit.
But what Santa left for the girls was stirring and it did wake them in the morning...
