Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This will be my son's 3rd Christmas and my daughter's 1st. These really are the years where the foundation of wonderful memories are built. I am excited about the season for, what a lot would say, superficial and shallow reasons. Allow me to list them down.

1. I love Christmas because of the lights and the songs and the beautiful decor. No matter how sad I am, looking at such festive designs always lightens my mood. This is given even more emphasis now with the 2 kiddies looking on with me. Two Christmases ago was stressful because we had just moved into our house. Because of that we weren't able to set up a tree or even lights. Last Christmas, we made up for it. I am determined to make this Christmas even better.
2. I love presents. This time, I am looking forward to seeing the joy in my son's face when he opens his gifts.
3. I love the food!! There really is no need to further expound on this point.
4. Finally, I love the general feeling of love and laughter and forgiveness that is present during the Christmas season.

I hope my reasons for loving Christmas don't change and instead just get longer and better.
