For me Christmas is all about the anticipation. Planning, prepping, dreaming, wishing, and waiting. The wait seems so long when you are little and you really have nothing to do but wait. But when you are the grown up - the one responsible for creating the magic of Christmas for your own little ones the time seems to fly! At one point you wonder if there will be enough time for all of those special little finishing touches. But by four days before Christmas you can sit down and look around at your month's work and be content with what was completed and forget about the rest. From here on in it is just about enjoying "tiny tots with their eyes all aglow"...
Abandoned dump trucks and strewn tutus are commonplace in our home amidst the sparkle of the season...
We decked the halls this year and put up every last decoration and ornament we could find...
No really - every last one we could find and then some! Our ornaments range from sentimental, to historic, to home-made, to tacky - thanks for that one, Stani!...(then there is also the toy truck which B recently decided to hang on the tree)...
Kitty contemplated her Christmas costume (in the end she decided to forego the antlers this year)...
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care in hope that St. Nicholas soon will be here!
