I adore Christmas and love it even more now that I have a 3-year-old in my life. The lights, songs, glitter and presents are something unique and wonderful in his eyes. Excitement is in the air and the beat of Christmas is palpable.
A child makes this all real for me in a way that takes me back to when I was a young mother watching my sons giggle with anticipation. And it reminds me of what a wonderful event Christmas was to me as a child. Funny how that goes away when I grow up…and when they grow up and leave the nest.
I’m blessed to have Christmas come alive. I am truly blessed.
I hope your day is filled with light, love and sweetness!
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and thanks for linking to my post!
We’re expecting two babies to join our family in 2012. Now that my own children are teenagers, I’m so looking forward to welcoming these sweet souls. There’s nothing quite like seeing Christmas – or our world – through the eyes of a child. Surely your day was filled with much joy and laughter…I’m smiling just to imagine it! Much love to you, my friend. xoxo
What a wonderful year 2012 will be for all of you! Each of those babies will develop with unique personalities and passions and you will be part of it! It’s all so magical!
there is joy and magic to be found in the eyes of children. You are so blessed.
Christmas is definitely for children (and New Year’s is for adults). Great to have a little one in your life and experience the holidays from their perspective.
Having little ones in my world means I MUST put up a tree and decorate the house. They may not notice but when they think of Christmas I want them to remember that I joined in too!
Merry Christmas to you and yours too! 🙂

Was it only last year I wrote this???
My kids have out grown Santa Claus. We have great Christmases but I do miss the excitement of a small child tearing into gifts.
Merry Christmas.

The extended family of friends who include me in their annual Christmas Eve celebrations includes 12 children ages 1 year to two sixteen year olds 🙂 It is a blast.
