Presents success!

Christmas eve went by faster than I expected this year but all in all I'm glad with the results.
Presents were a hit, gifts were good, and the best part was watching the bottled excitment from my neice as I told her that she was getting a "very special unique gift made by Santa only for her".
Her eyes were so wide that it took all that I had to restrain myself from laughing; and wishing I was that age again.
It warmed my heart though knowing that I was giving her a memory that she would hold dear until she came of age to know the truth.
"TINKERBELL!" She screamed when we opened the gift together and the room started off with laughter which quickly faded to admiration of her new "super special" present. But she isn't a fool, she tried catching me on a lie asking me later in the evening how I made it. Smart little bugger! I told her with a shrug: "I didn't make it, Santa did!" "Oh right!" She replied. And at the very evening, which to be honest this was the most adorable part, she calls me over and says: "Thank you so much for the present from Santa! Can you tell Santa that I really really really love her? Can you email him for me as soon as you get home?"
What a sweetheart.
Needless to say, it was one of the best Christmas' ever. :)
