We've been counting down for Christmas since the first part of October. We made a chain and everything. Did that sound like a confession? Maybe it was. While I'm on confessions; when Ben is at work I even sneak some Christmas music in.....I feel so dirty.....:)......he, he, he!
While I was reading the Bible with Zach this morning (cute side note, he didn't want me to read to him from his fun, colorfully pictured Bible this morning. He insisted I read from mine. ANYWAY) I asked him if he was excited for Christmas. He said he was. I said "It's fun to think of Christmas getting closer, and kind of exciting to wait and think of all the presents and stuff." In response he said "It's not so fun to wait."
Then I got to thinking back to waiting for Christmas as a 5/6 year old and feeling like time just crawled by. I would be so excited that I thought I either go crazy with boredom or burst with anticipation.
So, at our house, every morning, we rip a chain and will Christmas to come faster.

The waiting really is the best ... the anticipation, the wonder, the holy, magic of the whole season! Mom : )
Enjoy! Let's not get too busy and really enjoy our kiddies!
You are such a FUN Mommy! I love the chain idea - what a great visual for our little ones who are still learning concept of time. (Guilty Confession: when Eric was out of town last weekend, I watched White Christmas. hee, hee!)
