Everyone loves the Christmas season, and I get why they do it's just never been my thing. You know that feeling of excited-ness and anticipating that so many people feel right now? I get that feeling mid May when I know that it's almost summer. I would pick the Fourth of July over Christmas any day. I used to tell everyone that my dad died on Christmas and it worked for a while until one of my teachers gave my mom condolences and my mom explained that he died March 13th.
Don't get me wrong I like Christmas but for some reason it makes me sad, too(Probably not normal I guess). I am not a cryer but the song, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is just so sad to me; listen to the Tyler Hilton version, it's heartbreaking. Or, why can't we have "Christmas cheer" all the time rather than just cram it into a month? I do love giving presents, so much that I have gave most of my friends theirs already (two weeks ago).
Beyond the gift giving I am somewhat of a Scrooge, but having Boston makes my heart grow three sizes. After a million guilt trips I got is a tree.. It's actually really cute and we decorated it in pink, silver and black with her sweet little crown on top..She loves it & we have already slept by it once.

What are so fun ideas to do with a one year old to make the holiday season great? I love the family time and the get togethers. I like all the holiday treats and the nativity story. I have had so much fun helping Santa pick out what Boston would like to see Christmas morning.

Watching Charlie Brown Christmas.
•••I was going to finish this post better but I thought Boston was asleep and I just checked on her in her room using my lipstick to paint the walls... Please feel free to send your suggestions on fun holiday itinerary.

Boston growls because her mom taught I her to. Not because of a crazy feel in the blank does. Tht see's her hardly ever! How much attention is she after!!!
