Ho! Ho! Ho! Merrrry Christmas! A few days ago we set up our Christmas tree, and the little one in the Bonus Room upstairs. Yesterday we worked on the ornaments, and it was fun to remember all the old ornaments we set up every year. The little tree had homemade LEGO ornaments, and there were some loose Star Wars LEGO guys climbing around the tree. We called the little battling dudes "Operation Christmas Tree" because their mission was to destroy the battle droids during the Christmas season, once and for all. Ryan is trying to give me some advice on how to make it better, but I won't listen to him. Anyway, we are starting to celebrate Christmas now. Megan, my sister, seemed to like putting the stockings up. I am learning some new Christmas songs on the piano like "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and "Carol of the Bells". We set up a white magnetic plate that hangs on the wall. As it gets closer to Christmas, you move the star magnet around to show how many days until Christmas. We also got out our Advent Calendar.
As it gets closer to Christmas, people seem to feel so much more joy and happiness in the world. Christmas is a very good holiday.
Hey Cavan...you are very correct with your last paragraph. Let's just hope people around us know the REAL meaning of CHRISTmas. This is NOT the Holiday Season; it is CHRISTmas. Glad also you are enjoying putting up your tree with all the memories. They will stay with you for years to come. Anxious to hear your new songs on the piano.
