It’s late here now on Christmas Eve, not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse, 3 gorgeous children are snuggled up cosy in their beds, with visions of presents filling their sweet little heads. Their stockings are hung, their gifts are wrapped, the carols are on, and their parents are rapt, “yippee we can finally go to bed!!”
I love Christmas Eve, the anticipation of all things magical, the presents all wrapped so carefully with bows and pretty gift tags. The carols playing, the children bursting with excitement, it truly is an enchanting day. I feel truly blessed this Christmas to have my children safely tucked up in bed. Aspen age ten has been questioning if Santa is real, but when the sunset lit the sky up tonight with beautiful shades of red and pink she truly believed it was magical, and then seeing something in the distance (a plane), she was convinced it couldn’t be a plane because it looked too long, it was so far away and she swore it must be Santa! Her big brown eyes lit up with joy and she ran inside to email her best friend, it was lovely to see her innocence is still there! April is totally convinced Santa is real, and as a result went to bed a little anxious, worrying if he will remember to come to our house, we found her asleep holding tightly onto her three Care Bears, so cute! As for Adam, I have never seen him get ready for bed so quickly, he packed away all his building blocks in a flash, and didn’t even come out of bed tonight, not once!
So yes, I feel blessed and so thankful for my family and friends. I am also thankful to all of you, my devoted readers and those of you who visit my website occasionally. You have made starting this blog such a positive experience for me.
I wish you all a safe, joy filled Christmas, I wish you love, laughter, inner peace, and happiness. I also wish for peace in this world, and warmth and shelter for those less fortunate. I wish for those who are suffering, who have lost ones dear to them this year, or who are ill, or worrying, a reprieve from your pain, and suffering, may you know you are loved and thought of.
I hope the blogs I have posted over the past months have touched you, inspired you, and made you laugh, as you have all given me such joy. So whether you believe in Christmas or not, I wish you an abundance of joy this holiday season, may the magic of the season fill your hearts and homes.
