I love Christmas. The twinkling lights, the anticipation of what is under the Christmas tree, the present buying and wrapping, the making of Christmas cards and decorations. I love the sheer enjoyment of the whole run up to Christmas and the big day itself. Watching my kids get excited about the fact that Father Christmas is going to be visiting the house to give them presents is amazing. I have always loved Christmas and that is because of my parents.
Christmas is family and friends time. More importantly is family time but some friends are family. I have an open door in our house over the Christmas period when people can come and go as they please to stay for as long as they like (as long as they bring the wine). It's important to me that my children grow up appreciating that Christmas is not just about the presents but the preparation of Christmas and the valuable time that we get to spend together with people that we love.
This year I'm going back to the traditional and making all the decorations that we have in the house. Me and the kids made Christmas crackers with the help from EBay for the snaps and hats but the boys did some Christmas stamping on coloured paper. They look amazing, me and the boys are really proud that we did them together on a cold miserable day after school.
Christmas means a lot to me and to my family. Like I said at the beginning, I love it.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
