Rebecca smiled over at the blonde-curled child. "Are you excited about Christmas?"
"Yes! And Santa will bring me a new dolly! And candy! and a teddy bear!"
Lilian stopped running, threw hands out and twirled in the ecstasy that only three year old understands.
Rebecca calculated, doll-check, candy-check. Teddy bear? Oh well, maybe the playdough set would make up for the lack of a stuffed bear. If only it were Christmas tomorrow. It was so hard to wait, Rebecca thought.
