another new Christmas tradition

Clarissa and the kids have been planning this one for months. Clarissa invited the kids to sleep in her room so they could try and catch Santa Clause when he came to deliver presents. They would often talk about this at night over the dinner table. They would discuss how sneaky they would be. Clarissa made it a real party with Christmas movies on her computer and Christmas presents to open (I hear the pirate hook was the most coveted item).

Most of the kids fell asleep shortly after their usual bedtime. Andrew had a real tough time falling asleep. He usually wedges himself between his bed and the wall. He kept trying to do this but was having difficulty. For those unaccustom to how he sleeps, one might become afraid that he will suffocate himself. Clarissa not yet aware of this quirk, kept telling him to move away from the wall. As a result, Clarissa and Andrew both had a difficult time sleeping that night.
