December 12--Advent at ADAFT 2013!

For a little while I was feeling guilty about how we didn't post yesterday, and imagining all the sad ADAFT readers wondering what happened to us.  But then I thought, "No, no, it's much more like that time when you forgot to open the little door on your Advent calender, and then the next day you had TWO pieces of chocolate!"

Yeah, just humor me on that one.

Today I was thinking about how often Christmas is associated with sleepy children.

Like the ones with "visions of sugarplums" dancing in their heads.

Then there's Bing Crosby telling us about how he "pictures curly heads; and one by one [he] counts them as they slumber in their beds...." 

And what about how "tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow, will find it hard to sleep tonight?"  That's more in line with our experience.

But even if our tiny one is not so sleepy, I've still got a soft spot for this Christmas song by Roger Whittaker.
