little bitty Christmas trees |
Normally I would be more than a little upset that the Christmas season has started before Thanksgiving. I mean, really? It seems to start earlier and earlier every year.
Well, this year I'm pretty excited. I'm going to buy one of the little Christmas trees to put by the fire place (we have an artificial tree, but it doesn't have the same effect as a live tree).
The boys are excited, too. They’ve already started compiling their Christmas lists and we’re going to sit down next week to write out their letters to Santa.
I just love to explain the that Christ was born on that day, to open the little doors on their advent calendars, to see their faces every time they look at the tree. Their excitement is simply contagious. Such a wonderful time!
