This year it was the ice and snow we just got. I have a light post outside, and I had just put up the fake pine garland with the tiny white lights twisted around it. It rained, and sleeted, and froze everything, and the heat from the lights made tiny little icicles all over the garland. It looks like real pine now, and the lights gleam from under the ice. The little flag I have on the cross post froze, it looks like it has been glazed, and there is a pile of snow on the crosspiece, and around the post at the bottom..It looks like a Curier and Ives picture.
When I peek out the window to look at it, which is often, I am 6 years old again, and praying for a sled to ride down my terrace on!
Every year it is something, a toy I saw that I wish I had when I was a kid, the joy on my friend's daughter's face when she opened her present from me, and when she saw the Christmas decorations at my house.
Merry Christmas!

I get that "magical" feeling of Christmas every year and it's quite hard to explain really. I know my mom gave it to me in the way she celebrated the holidays. She passed it down to me. Now I strive to pass it to my kids so that Christmas will always be special to them.
I love the lights of Christmas the most, I think. The vibrant colors, the twinkling and flashing and sparkle! They can change a cold, dreary evening into a shiny, festive night filled with energy. They are like an electric smile!
Watching my kids open their gifts on Christmas morning is my other biggest joy. Even at 11 1/2 and 13, they still are excited like little kids when Christmas morning comes. Nothing brings me more joy than to share my holidays with my kids. Squish squish!

There is a special glow that people get around Christmas that is very refreshing. I only wish that people could adopt that same attitude year long - the caring and wanting to do good for others, especially those less fortunate. It always warms my heart to give, which is why this time of year is so special. Plus, the time spent with your family is priceless. There is not many times during the year that you can bring your entire family together in one home, and this particularly makes Christmas special. This whole time of year, the lights, the presents, the giving , the family - all of it - puts a smile on my face.

The last few years it has definitely been watching my 5 year old first thing in the morning! She stares in amazement that Santa drank his milk, ate his cookies & that the reindeers ate their carrots. She also loves the dirt by the Christmas tree that Santa brought in on the bottom of his boots ;o)
This is the last year I think she will have that innocent belief of Santa, she will be 6 in a few weeks & I remember at that age learning from the kids at school that Santa wasn't real so I'm going to really enjoy this year....especially now that chrissy lunch is at my place so all my family will be visiting :o)
Happy Christmas xxxxxxx

I am a christian and believe what I believe. The children have a right to enjoy whatever entertainment they can as such. I love watching the children as they enjoy magical places and experiences. In fact that is one of the basic instincts of all animals. That is why children are born so cute and cuddly except in a perverts mind.
Because I am an adult now I don't get that "squichy" feeling...lol...until I see the kids open their presents and run around the house energeticly with the toys they asked for. Then this THUGG becomes a parent and kind of misty. But dont tell anybody I said that dammit!

What Makes Christmas Day special for me is knowing that I am surrounded by a wonderful family and friends. When I see my 4 year old niece and all the excitement and joy shining in her eyes and radiating on her face as she decorates the tree, bakes cookies, opens her gifts and gives gifts to others.... watching her makes Christmas very magical for me.
Knowing that God above sent His son Jesus here to earth a baby and that one day that baby would indeed save my life as well as the lives of many all over this world is something that makes Christmas more than magical to me.

Picturing Mary going into labor on Christmas eve - knowing she was giving birth to someone very special but not fully comprehending the big picture. And wondering why he was being born in a humble stable. And then, realizing - she had just given birth to the Saviour of the World - God's gift to us.
I wonder how it must grieve God how far removed we have gotten from that miracle and simplicity of the first Christmas..

The fact that I get to celebrate it with someone I care about deeply, along with his family as well, for 3 straight years now. Considering I am Jewish, it has truely been a time I look forward to, so that I can experience all the joy and love of the holiday.

To me it replaced into continually extra magical than Christmas Day because at the same time as i replaced right into a baby the thrill in our abode all started on Christmas Eve. My mom and pa even had Santa grant the resources in my opinion at the same time as i replaced into about 6 years previous. (I under no circumstances did ask who replaced into dressed interior the Santa adventure!) after I were given married my husband and that i went to my mom's abode first on Christmas Eve with all of my different family individuals. all of us further cookies and presents and both listened to Christmas music or watched Christmas videos. Then we left my mom's abode and went to hubby's mom and pa's abode next because his mom continually worked second shift in a nursing abode Christmas Eve. we ought to have yummy snacks and extra cookies and presents and infrequently no longer get abode till 3 a.m.! Then hubby's mom had a huge Christmas Day meal interior the early evening with a house so finished of folk we used a actual-length ping-pong table coated with quite christmas tablecloths so all human beings ought to sit down down and eat jointly! Our mom and father have considering that surpassed on to the great beyond and it really is under no circumstances a similar anymore notwithstanding the concepts are fantastic!
