When we are young we are taught that Christmas is the season for giving and not receiving. I believe in that hold heartily. Last Christmas, my family and I spent Christmas night serving food to the homeless. it is always nice to do something for those less fortunate.
It is my favorite time of year! The weather is chilly; friends and family are getting ready to get together. People are headed to the malls in droves trying to find that last minute gift for some special.
As a young child, I couldn't wait for December 25. I remember waking up excited. We would go wake our parents up; dad had to video everything. We couldn't go see what we had until he had his camera ready; he wanted to record our reactions. By the time everything was done, the living room looked like a tornado has passed. There was wrapping paper thrown all over and opened presents that we played with before moving to the next. It was mad chaos, but so much fun.
I remember being bumbed that we had to stop playing with our toys to get ready to go to someone else's house and leave everything at home. Before dressing, we would call our cousin Marci (we would be seeing her within the hour) to tell her what we got.
My favorite thing still to this day is to open my stocking; I love to see how everything fits into the small thing. We always had pencils, erasers, money, and other things.
This weekend I will be putting up my Christmas tree at my house. When I am done, I will take some photos and post them for all to see.
Happy Holiday!!!!
