Yes it is very clear to me now…I do love Christmas (and Christmas
Eve).I just don’t really care for all the hoopla leading up to it all (or like
some of it but not all of it)
But
the day before and the day itself??? Magical. I love the excitement
for the gifts to be opened and the overstuffed stockings. I love spending it
with our extended family and feeling like our children are so loved and part of
many villages. I was so excited last night I when I went to bed at 2am that I
could barely sleep. And barely did in fact!
We had a beautiful Xmas ever a Reveillon celebration at my husband’s nieces’
house with all his nieces and nephews. And I had my brother and family come
with us too from Indiana..so nice! There are so many little kids there full of
hugs and kisses and love. All believing in Santa. What a pleasure to watch them
all grow.And then back here in the city at midnight for Xmas pjs and bedtime,. And
all 10 pairs fit all ten people Yes!
And then Christmas today so so so nice. Everyone calm and
happy and relaxed. My fave part of Christmas day is spending it all of us in
our (new) pajamas just chilling and relaxing. Everything looking at and playing
with what they received for Christmas and hanging out together. That is my
favorite part of Christmas just enjoying that rare unstructured time. A
beautiful breakfast made by my Honey of homemade cinnamon buns and cranberry loaf and a beautiful lunch made by my Mom.Ping pong is the big hot of a game this
year. And a big poker suitcase.
We are heading out to Trent with brother and family at dinner
time tonight for some Chesse fondue, snow, Action movies and some major games
of poker! All of them are better poker players than we are. Having big kids is a blast.
And gosh all these kids are growing up! They were all so
calm this Christmas and patient and grateful. And all cooperated and play and
chat together. And they had mimosas with us with chamapgane! And they played table tennis tournaments
and did dance shows.
We are heading out soon so Hubby can show off all his
hard work at his new office and lock all the kids in the big vault he builtJ
Hope all your dreams came and come true!!!
