Don't you agree? Christmas for me is the happiest time of year. How can it not be when everywhere you turn there are twinkling lights, wonderfully decorated trees, the smiles of hopeful children as they wonder: Just what will Santa bring me this year? Christmastime, despite the obvious, also has great personal significance for me. Brian and I were engaged just a few days before Christmas in 2000. Married just a few days after in 2001. Christmas 2002 saw us wide-eyed with wonderment as we were about to become parents for the very first time- Margaret Claire was born just 2 weeks later on January 7, 2003.
Maggie and Lydia are very excited for the coming days... Christmas is just 10 days away now and they are really starting to think seriously about their lists. They are both at an age now where they are starting to "get it" too- not just Santa, but the Angel Trees we have bought gifts for, the birth of Christ, the whole meaning of Christmas really.
Our tree is ready and it feels a lot like Christmas here at our house.
