It’s almost that time of year again. Time for toys and time for cheer. Yep. You got it. It’s Christmas Time!! I love the Holiday Season. Easily my favorite time of year…the smells, the cooler weather [yes, I said cooler because “cold” weather doesn’t actually exist in Florida], the lights, the decorations, and the FOOD! Today, I thought it would be fun to make a “wish” list of the things we all want for Christmas this year-me, the husband and Noah. [Hence again, the word “WISH”…most of these aren’t things we are actually going to get, but in the Spirit of Christmas and Santa, it’s fun to make a list.]
For the husband…
-The 42″ Flat Screen Vizio LCD
-A PS3
-And to see his beloved Crimson Tide Football team beat the Florida Gators in the SEC Championship Game December 5 [We could call that an early gift.]
For the little monkey…
-Handy Manny and his tools
-A Ball Pit
-And some new clothes [the child got more toys than he knows what to do with for his birthday…I think he may have one of everything on the shelves!]
And for me…what’s topping my “Wish” list?
-The New Canon Rebel Digital
-The New updated NIV Life Application Study Bible
-And some new furniture for the house…preferably some for the Bedroom.
But in all seriousness, what do I really want for Christmas? To spend the holidays with my husband and my son. To celebrate Christmas as a family in our own home under the Christmas Tree. To watch Noah act goofy and play with the wrapping paper instead of his new toys. To watch my husbands face when he opens his Christmas Gifts [he is like a big kid…it’s so fun to watch him open presents]. To take Noah to see Santa for the first time. To bake cookies and candy for my family the way my Grandmother always did. To watch Noah pull the decorations off of the Christmas Tree. To light candles that make the house smell like Christmas. And to know that this is just one of many Christmases that we get to celebrate together as a family.
