I cant believe it is already days into December.and visions of sugar plums are definitely dancing in our boys ahead...along with Santa, Elves, trees, darkness to light, stories of Christmas in so many cultures and of course those dream lists and letters already sent to Santa. I cant help but find the Magic in Christmas now having little ones. They truly believe in *MAGIC*little elves, one Joly St. Nick, a sleigh that flies through the night surprising kiddos with there dreams... Now I know this can seem to be a big consumer time..but honestly I still remember so many Christmas filled with family, love, music, cookies, staying up late to watch Rudolf on TV, and of course Santa making my dream comes true. From my Turtle Henry, to those Reebok Dance shoes...I wore till they died..So Yes, though some would say we can do w/o the "stuff".... Teaching moderation, magic, hope, and giving to all seems to be a better balance for our home. We discuss plenty about giving to people in need, donating our clothes, giving at toy/clothing to the needy, and Cedar gets it! He just got yet another pkg in the mail from relatives...and immediately wanted to return the favor saying he wants to send presents to his mimi's and grandpas...so sweet. So while the boys wait, count down with there advent calender, learn about different holiday cultures in school, prepare to have a Solstice Celebration, we are celebrating love and life daily..here's to living..in the present from skating, to sipping hot cocoa, to hayrides.. there is Magic in the air to all willing to see and celebrate....Cheers
