As we gear up for Christmas Eve and Santa getting tracked by Norad, some of us may be more excited than others. Apparently Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys is VERY excited about “Santer.” Ha ha ha….gotta love those Trailer Park Boys. Course after watching that little tidbit several times, and by several times I mean 136 times, the dog farted loudly and Dylan proclaimed, “Now THERE’S some Bubbles!” Ahhhh the smells of Christmas.
Hubby and I did all the wrapping last night so we could relax with his family tonight here at home, munching on goodies and sipping Christmas Cheer. I can’t wait. Besides watching the kids tear into presents on Christmas morning, Christmas Eve with Big D’s family is my favorite time of the holiday. The conversation swirls around the room, laced with love and excitement. There is alot of laughter and bantering, all in fun, and for the last 7 years I’ve never felt more a part of something so wonderful. We see them all the next day, but there is something so intimate and lovely about the night before Christmas.
I’m not sure who was more excited last night, Big D or Little D. Little D reluctantly went to bed after bouncing off the walls and chattering constantly. Big D carefully wrapped the presents he picked out for the kids and talked about not being able to wait to see their faces. He teased me about wanting to open my gifts right then, but I didn’t fall for it. I knew he would say ‘no way’ if I got all excited. I can’t wait to give him his gifts either though. I get more excited about the giving than the getting. I love picking out or making special things for family and friends and watching the joy on their faces as they realize how much they are thought about and loved…..that, to me, is the joy of Christmas.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…..
May you and yours have a Merry Little Christmas. Let your heart be light.
