We celebrated the night before Christmas with some friends, some pasta (spaghetti with asparagus, mixed greens salad, fresh bread), some cookies (they were vegan! and they tasted great!), some new pj's, and some games (Scattergories anyone?).
When we asked Solomon what he wanted to leave out for Santa, he found a picture he had made ("Dear Santa, Hi."), picked out 2 cookies, then insisted on a glass of water rather than milk (a bucket of water for the reindeer), and a carrot for Rudolph.
Sol was so excited about Santa coming that he bypassed his normal bedtime and stayed up until 11 (yay!). He kept glancing out the windows, hoping he would get to see Santa in his sleigh. To this day (ummm, January 1st), he says that he could hear Santa opening the front door at some point when it was dark outside. Maybe?
