are you up late at night getting ready for Christmas? are you surprised, as an adult, how much effort it takes to make the holiday *magical?* if you're already "ready," do you take time to sit in the glow of the tree and the candles and really enjoy the spirit of the season? is there a favorite Christmas movie that you watch, or favorite music that you enjoy? are you rested and relaxed? or a tad frazzled, like me?
Yes I am up late every night working on different things for Christmas. Wrapping presents, making gifts, or just plain cleaning. I think this time of year is magical no matter what so for me everything else like decorations etc are just ice on the cake. I try every night even if it is just for a minute or two before I go to bed to sit and enjoy just the Christmas tree lights. I turn all the other lights off and just sit there and look out our window at all the snow. It's GREAT! Our family does have a favorite Christmas movie, but it is different for everyone. Mine and kids would be Polar Express my husbands is the Grinch with Jim Carrey. As much as I would like to think that I am relaxed I always stress at the holidays, hoping that everything goes well and that everyone gets along. This picture is not me I know but my son was so funny. Still in his PJ's , he had to have his sippie cup and his book bag on, then he got a blanket and wanted me to cover him up on the couch. So funny. I had to use it..JPG)
This is my favorite picture of Cullan and I at his first Christmas. I love his little smile.
