I hope you don't mind that I borrowed the van last night. I just had to see Po Po (because you know he's been sick with Pinecone Fever)! We decided to see if Periwinkle and Nixie wanted to hang out at Steak and Shake (since they're open all night) for a little while. We had such a good time. The shakes were the best and I'm pretty sure Po Po enjoyed the cheese fries. Nixie and Periwinkle were a lot of fun, too. They just wanted to keep hanging out - all night long. We don't get to hang out at the North Pole much because we're always working on toys and stuff. It was a nice break and we had a great time. Tell your mom and dad I would've put gas in the car, but I was afraid someone would see us and then our elf magic would be spoiled. I told Po Po to clean up because he kinda made a mess in the car (I think he's kinda messy!).

I can't believe it's Christmas Eve!!! Can you??? Tomorrow is the big day. Are you excited about opening your gifts? Wonder if I helped make any of them? Be sure to let me know what you got. I've had a great time visiting you again this year. I'm not sure when I'll be heading back to the Pole, but it will probably be soon.

Guess I better head off to get some sleep. I'm pretty tired after all that running around last night.

Oh my goodness! I had so much fun today. Thanks for taking me to see the play. That was amazing! I was so close and the singing was so beautiful. The trip to Chick Fil A was crazy, wasn't it?! There were a lot of people there and I was afraid I was going to lose you guys! It was so much fun to see Spriggy and to meet Periwinkle and Nixie. I have a feeling we'll be great friends - for a very long time.

Hope you don't mind, but I was inspired to try out my own magic carpet ride last night. After seeing that part in the play, I thought it would be fun! Have you ever been on a magic carpet ride? Do you remember last year at Christmas when Benjamin was sick, like the girls in the play? I hope everyone stays well this year.

Let me know if there's anything special you'd like me to do while you're asleep (except for cleaning - I'm not very good at laundry, or doing dishes, or cleaning bathrooms, or anything else like that). I'm having a lot of fun in your home.

I am soooo happy to be in your house again for Christmas!!! I hope you liked the lights on the tree outside. Were you surprised when you got home? I love your advent calendars, too. They make great steps.

I enjoyed visiting with your friends last night. I listened while Luke played the piano; it was beautiful! Hope you don't mind, but I thought I might try to play a little. I was afraid I might wake you up so I played very quietly!

I'm finding plenty of food in the pantry and Leah seems to leave me alone - most of the time. She tried to lick me a lot last night. I love my new bed, Hannah. Thanks for making it for me! You are very thoughtful.

Have fun doing your school work today. I'll be listening so I can learn something new, too.

*By the way - did a friend of mine named Spriggy, happen to arrive near here? I thought he was coming to Chattanooga. He's a great guy!
