What a wonderful surprise, Pamela! We had a similar one. Our youngest had moved to Boston for work and didn't think he was going to get to come home for Christmas. Two days before Christmas the decision was made to bring him home (he finally got the 'ok' for a week off from work...) but by then it cost a fortune to get a ticket on Christmas Eve. So he flew on Christmas Day instead. My daughter and her husband are here with us and didn't know my son was coming home. His Daddy had to slip out in the afternoon to go pick him up, under the ruse of gettting some stuff from the store for me for our Christmas dinner. When they returned my DD and SIL were in SHOCK to see their brother/brother-in-law walk in! It was so much fun but I'm glad I didn't have to keep the surprise any longer! We had a wonderful Christmas.
