Christmas Things
There are so many things about Christmas that I have come to love during my past 16 years of living.
It's funny..........Christmas is still just as exciting, nerve wracking, and magical for me as it was 11 years ago!
The stockings stuffed with goodies in the morning.....the glimmering rapping paper enclosing dozens of little boxes under the tree.......red and green candles shimmering in the dark at 5 AM.........Rudolph's nose glowing outside my window.......Slay bells jingling through the sky......who says there's no Santa???!!!!
Clause and I have been great friends ever since I was, like....2 years old! What law says I have to stop believing in him now????!!!!!!
IDK.......it just seems like as folks get older, they mechanically loose some of that special magic that kids all over the world seem to cherish more than they do toys and candy-canes....
I still can't sleep on Christm,as Eve night! lol
The suspense just kills me! ...........And not just because I know I'm going to get awesome lil' presents the next day (lol) but because.....well....IDK.....just because Christmas is coming I guess.
The simple fact of the 25th keeps me far, far away from dreaming of sugar plums and fairies.
I'll stay awake all night and then finally close my eyes at 4-5 in the morning.....(which is usually the annual time of Christmas Eve when all of the kids come running upstairs and bang on my door yelling : "WAKE UP, WA-WA! ITS CIS-MAS!!!" ...........lol)
Christmas is just so special.
I think too many people take that for granted....like its just another Holiday.
But there's something about it....something that makes it feel even more special than any other Holiday of the year.......
Will you keep that "un-known" magic alive?
Comment and let me know :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!!!! I know, Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I too, can't sleep on Christmas eve. It is the one day of the year when I WANT to get up early :P
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you enjoy all of our little "magical" traditions; and even "getting pounced" by your baby brothers and sisters on Christmas morn...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you have become my special "Elf-helper" in shopping and wrapping...(oh yes...notice that "w" at the start of that word there...Ahem) and I hope you know that Daddy and I can hardly sleep the night before Christmas,as well; for we delight in seeing the twinkle in your eye on Christmas morning! It is true that there is something MORE to Christmas...so special...Christ's birth is the reason for all the JOY of ALL the holidays! I simply can't fathom that GOD came to earth...in the flesh...OH THE WONDER OF IT ALL! Thanks, Laura...for reminding us "grown ups" to keep our child-like JOY.
