Description 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, (well, almost)
While visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads

Not an image I had planned to do, but once I got the idea into my head there was just no stopping! I remember when I was little, my older sister stayed up with me late the night before Christmas because I couldn't sleep (excitement, you know! ), and we sat talking about all the awesome toys we would get until I finally fell asleep. Good times! So I let Selenity and Xantara share a similar moment. Aren't they cute? I really like their nightgowns!

And if you're wondering that is Mr. Twinkle Xantara is clutching in her sleep. Mr. Twinkle used to be Selenity's plush (she got it from their mother), but when she got older she gave it to Xanta, who (much like her sister used to) never goes anywhere without it.

Aw, Xantara is so adorable with her Mr. Twinkle, and Selenty looks so mature and so much like that 'motherly older sister' everyone loves! And I absolutely love their nightgowns, very creative!

This is such a lovely family picture. Christmas isn't all about capitalism, but still a family based tradition.

I don't know what's cuter: the picture itself (loving the expressions and poses!), or the moon-jammies.

I am glad you drew out the idea and that it got stuck in your head. This is so lovely Elila I love the window and snow in the background as well as them.

I love sibling moments like this. I have a little brother so it was a little different, lol, but you really caught the peace of the moment. I want to snuggle with someone now!

Yay! I am quite excited for secret snuggles, although I suppose they aren't really all that secret anymore, are they?
