Christmas Eve is such a magical night!
No matter how old I get ……. 
Why is it still so hard to go to sleep on Christmas Eve ……. No matter how many Christmas cocktails I have had, teehee …… it always brings out the kid in me. Yes I still believe in Santa, HO HO HO!

This is a special year because for the first time in 38 years, there will be a full moon on Christmas Day, according to NASA. The moon’s peak will occur on December 25th at 5:11 am CST.
‘This month’s full moon is the last one of the year and it’s called the ‘full cold moon’ because it occurs during the beginning of winter, it won’t happen again until 2034!’ (NASA)
From Riley and me, may your Christmas Eve be full of kindness, laughter and love, Woof Woof! ??
