Christmas time

Well I absolutely love Christmas time, I somehow go from a 30 year old grown woman to this child, who smiles and oohs and aahs at everything Christmas.  No matter that every year I stress to no end trying to find the perfect Christmas gift for everyone,  I like to hear oh my goodness when someone opens up one of our gifts.  My husband is such a big help too, yeah right, he hates shopping unless it's for him and then he can spend hours somewhere, and the man loves him some Kohl's, we could probably own stock with as much money that place has gotten from us.  Whew!!!! So back to the whole stress out thing..... I say every year, I am going to have my Christmas done by the first weekend in December, or the end or November, and it never happens, it is almost like for some reason I forget Christmas comes at the same time every year. HA!  But no matter the stress, I still love it.  I love the fact of seeing the Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, anything animated for Christmas, if I could get away with it, our house would be something that would make Clark Griswold proud, but my husband vetoes that every year, bah humbug.  Oh well, we have lights on our porch, candy canes lighted up in front of the porch, lighted penguins down our walk way, and a big frosty the snowman, so I guess that should suffice.  HA!  The most fun part about Christmas, is when all the hustle and bustle is done, I can truly reflect with my family the true meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate it, I love how on Christmas Eve, we go to Philip's brother's house and they read the story of Christmas from the bible, and I really love hearing our niece Nicole reading it.  It melts my heart, knowing that child loves Jesus the way she does, and that she is such a good hearted girl. .  I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas and it is a blessed one.
