We had a magical Christmas this year.

Growing up, Christmas was never my favorite holiday… in fact it was probably the least of my favorites.  I had divorced parents and every year it seemed so complicated.  I much preferred Easter or Thanksgiving.  Easier to split, less pressure.

I still love Easter and Thanksgiving, but since starting a family of my own, Christmas has creeped somewhere near the top of the list.  Each year that goes by is more fun than the last.  I love how having children has allowed me to see the world through fresh, childlike eyes.  Being able to experience Christmas through a 2 and 4 year old had to have been my very favorite Christmas to date.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Any fun plans for NYE?  I think I’m going to get all dressed up for a night at home, drinking sparkling cider with the three people I love most.

Wishing you the happiest New Year!  See you in 2013!
