Falling Asleep with Christmas Music

My parents had a Christmas tradition that they would put on Christmas music when we went to bed on Christmas Eve so we could all fall asleep to the wonderful sound of Christmas. Now that I'm older, I figured out the Christmas music was not only to set the mood for us kids, but to drown out the sound of my parents as they shuffled the Christmas presents from their bedroom closet to under the Christmas tree without us hearing anything and keeping the Santa story alive.
