It is Christmas Eve! And although you do not understand anything that is going on, you sure are enjoying the lights, bells, paper and boxes everywhere!
This year is my first year to not make a huge fuss about everything. I usually have the tree up by October 31 (which your daddy doesn't enjoy) and the stockings hung neatly with perfect symmetry, and the gifts are wrapped neatly and topped with beautiful bows. But this year I am distracted by this happy, smiley, adventurous little bald guy crawling around. So the tree is up, stockings are hanging, and gifts are under the tree. And by no means is it a picture perfect scene. Each stocking has fallen down twice and at this point they are just thrown up on the wall hanging on for dear life. The tree is leaning slightly and the gifts are mostly stuck in gift sacks and pre-decorated boxes taped shut. I laugh at my half-attempt to do up Christmas this year.
See, this year I have a whole new mind set. I love that Christmas brings along with it the excitement to celebrate with the ones you love and give gifts that you picked out with them in mind. So that has taken over my care to have a picture perfect home. Since you came along I have just been relaxing and enjoying this season watching the magical little moments that make me take a snapshot for my memory bank. And this year there have been several of these moments.
Next year I will be teaching you about the true meaning of Christmas and how to spend the Holidays giving to others from your heart. And we will be making many more memories from now until then.
Merry Christmas, Little Buddy!
Love,
Mommy
