Every morning my boys wake up and the first thing out of their mouths is....... Mummy, only _ more sleeps, until Santa comes. The excitement makes me excited.
Although, my oldest is 7 ( almost 8), this is the first year in a long time, that I have had the "Christmas Spirit". Even my husband commented on how different I am this year. Not sure what it is, not much has changed since last year, but for some unknown reason, Im excited this year.
I think this time of year we are expected to get in to the spirit, December 1st and be singing Christmas songs, start baking, get the house decorated etc. But for some of us, its stressful. Whether you are home on Mat leave, making it on one income in order for you to stay home with the kids, its hard to make ends meet this time of year. Buying presents for your own children, neieces/nephews, aunts, uncles, Grandparents etc. Its hard to find the extra money to get through the month of December, all with a smile on your face, and in the "Christmas Spirit".
At this time of year, its important to take step back, look at your beautiful children, and remember, its not about just giving gifts, running around and putting on that smile. Its about, family, being together and taking some time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour over the past year and think about the year ahead.
From all of us here in Momstown, we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and great things for 2010!!
