It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I LOVE Christmas! From the day after Thanksgiving until New Year's Day, I am in heaven! I love the tree, the lights, the music, the movies, the celebrations, the family time, the feeling at mass during Advent, the cookies, Santa and his reindeers, the twinkle most people have in their eyes, I could go on and on...What a wonderful time of year!

Last year at this time, I was anxiously awaiting our little arrival. I was 9 months pregnant, getting very uncomfortable, and thinking to myself if our child would be upset that his or her birthday was so close to Christmas (please know that at this time, I was fully certain that this child was going to be born like 2 days before or on Christmas...I was 9 months pregnant and getting a little crazy!!!) Little did I know that this would be such a magical time of year to celebrate a birthday! With Christmas in the air, everything in this world is THAT MUCH BETTER! And this includes birthdays (just think how beautifully decorated our house will be for his parties)!!!

I have finally come to peace that Luke's birthday is in December, and I hope that he feels the same way I do when he is older!

There is a magic in the air this time of year and you, my sweet angel, are an important part of that feeling!!!
