So many happy memories of Christmas , as an adult , and experiencing the joy of Christmas morning through my children's joy , excitement & happiness .
However one stands out above all the rest .
I remember the first Christmas our children had outgrown the whole Santa myth . They were entering their teens and Christmas Eve they didn't seem as excited as previous years .
I was missing those earlier years of my little ones screams of ....
Mum , Dad , Santa's been Santa's been, hurry up and get up .
This Christmas was very different as I woke to a quiet house.
While everyone was still sleeping , or so I thought , I made my way downstairs to prepare the usual special Christmas breakfast.
As I walked down the stairs , I had a clear view of our huge Christmas Tree ( at the time ) and sticking out from under the tree were a pair of hairy legs ....that's all I could see .
It was my son , 13 years old at the time . He'd been up super early because he was very excited apparently to see what had been left under the tree.
Despite their ages I still waited until they were asleep before bringing out all the presents and placing them randomly under the tree .
My oh so organised son , on his belly , those hairy legs sticking out from the tree, was putting everyone's presents in order of their names .
I stopped for a moment and just watched him in silence , taking in a very special moment in time that I was never to see again .
When I eventually said , Merry Christmas Matthew ... he almost jumped straight up through the tree to the Angel tree topper
I hugged him and told him , he had just made my Christmas so special as I once again felt that magical atmosphere that I felt in years gone by .
On this Christmas morning, when I thought it had been lost .
Merry Christmas SDC members and Admin .
I trust you all have a safe , fun day .
Just remember Family does not have to be blood.
If you find yourself alone this Christmas , check out your local Community papers etc .
Someone is bound to be doing something for those who are alone on Christmas Day .
Or perhaps organise something yourself for those you know .
Keep it simple . Everyone brings one item of food , own drinks and perhaps meet in a park ( with shade ) .
Think of some fun games to get everyone laughing and just be grateful for all you DO have in your life and not what you DON'T have.
Carpe Diem
