This Christmas....

So I have a moment to do a quick post.... Elle is sleeping and Jack is busy playing with his farm. It seems like just yesterday i was so excited for Thanksgiving to come and now it is gone. Time flies by so fast I can't believe it. I'm focused on enjoying the season this year. I love so many things about Christmas but it seems like every year I have this let down because I was too busy with this and that, and by the time it is over I'm left with the feeling that I didn't enjoy it like I wanted to. So I'm focusing in and ready to just be in the feeling. Elle started me off the other morning, we were lying in bed and she rolled over and said "Mom, you know why I talk about Christmas so much?" and I said why? and she said "Because I LOVE Christmas". it was too cute and the way she said it just made me laugh. I love too that she loves Christmas, I just need to make sure that she understands the meaning behind it. It is exciting to see her eyes light up when she sees all the decorations going up, as well as her ideas on what gifts she is going to give people, and honestly what gifts she hopes she is going to get. So in the end I think having that Christmas feeling will be a little easier with my little girl around, because you cannot deny the spirit of Christmas when you get to experience it through a childs eyes...
