Child's Version of Christmas

     Even as an adult I find it difficult to sleep on Christmas Eve.  Yuletide excitement is a potent caffeine, no matter your age.  ~Carrie Latet

    Every year for Christmas the kids open Santa gifts and then are rushed to see family and never really get to enjoy the holiday. This year I sat with them and we made our own plan for what we would like our Christmas to be like.

    First, we agreed no more travelling Christmas Day. It's too much stress and not fun at all. We will stay home and if others wish to stop by then we are OK with that. Secondly, the kids have every intention of staying in their PJs all day long. Why change if you're just playing anyway? They want to watch lots of Christmas classics and new faves. We are also planning on baking a ton of cookies and fudge. Yummy!

     Most importantly, my little ones understand the true meaning of Christmas. They want to give love and receive love not chase down presents. I couldn't ask for a better bunch of kids.
