It's the most wonderful time of the year, right? I really love Christmas. I love what it means. I love seeing this month through the eyes of my boys. It is really magical. They are so excited by the smallest things... today Math. was playing with a "Teddy Bear Angel" that sings "Jesus Loves Me". He was cracking up that the bear was singing about Jesus & the Bible. He loved it. Entertained him for 30 minutes!
Last night I made cookies with the boys. They might just be chefs one day - they both LOVE to work in the kitchen! Nicholas actually wanted to complete the recipe by himself! Those are special moments... there is no screaming or yelling... just good times with my family.
This year, I have been a bit LAX on decorations (this is a serious understatement to anyone who has seen my house). I have a tree up (Yeah, me!), but that is all. Today I put two ornaments on the tree. Math.'s handprint from last year and Nicholas handprint globe from school. And it looks sweet. I could be done. Who needs more? Less is more, right?
A neighbor bringing over a pizza, just because. Doesn't get any better! Sweet little blessings in life are what it is all about.
Taking my time this year to enjoy my blessings. Enjoy each day. And trying, TRYING not to worry about all the "stuff" that takes my attention away from the meaning.
