I love Christmas time and all the lights, treats, music, presents, and excitement that comes along with it. Kids only make it better. Every morning when little Dex wakes up he walks over to our Christmas tree and points to it and grunts, which means, "Mom, turn on the lights!" Then he exclaims, "pity," which means "pretty," the same thing he squeals and exclaims when he sees Christmas lights while driving around at night.
Savy has enjoyed having her own Christmas tree in her room and loves to help me wrap presents by applying the crooked tape and the huge, unmatching bows. She's asked Santa for a handful of things (ipod phone, house, and barbies), but hasn't really focused on any one present, so it will be exciting to see what Santa chooses to bring her for Christmas. At one point she even asked Santa for a sweater! And Santa looked at her and said..."A sweater? What about toys?" Savy decided toys would be good, too, so Santa said he'd choose a special toy for her.
I love the magical feel of Christmas and have enjoyed watching all the corny Christmas cartoon classics with my chitlins while snuggling up on our warm couch next to our Christmas tree. Only four more days until the magic explodes! Merry Christmas!!
