SOOOOO EXCITING!
Honey and I were on the way to school Friday and having just purchased an awesome Christmas present for one of my children I said…
“I’m so excited about Christmas!”
Honey of course said, “Me too!”
I asked her if she knew why I was so excited. She gave me a normal child response…
“Because you are going to get presents?”
I laughed, I knew that was going to be her response. I told her it is always nice to get presents, but I was excited to see her and her brothers on Christmas morning and see all that Santa left for them. She looked at me like I had two heads, how could I be excited about that! It would be more exciting to open presents.
This Christmas reminds me of a Christmas I had many years ago when we must have been in a pretty good financial position as a family. I received almost anything I could have wanted including a trampoline. I remember being so excited that I got a jean jacket LOL!
This year with the growth of my blog and my opportunities my family is getting quite a lot of goodies. I feel like a little child waiting for Christmas! Kids make Christmas so much fun!

Thanks! That made my day. I have been taking some what of a bloggy break lately so I haven’t written as many fun personal posts as I like. Just finishing up some commitments.
However it is the holidays and a time for family so they do come first. I have so many post started but not finished LOL.
It makes me smile when people say they enjoy them! Hugs to you and your family!

Christmas is the best holiday, especially if you have young children. I don’t have any children but I do have you nieces and nephews and there is nothing like seeing them open their presents and how happy they are.

despite the hectic schedule and tight budgets and overshopping, etc I’m really excited for the same reasons. I love making my kids happy and I know “buying” their happiness isn’t the answer, gifts from santa is fun!!

It’s even better when it’s your grandkids you’re watching open presents because you know that you won’t have to find room for all of the new toys in your house!
