This Christmas season has been a blur of business. It feels like we got to enjoy so little of the season and never had time to just sit and revel in the wonderful things that make up this whole season of Christmas.
Revolution's Christmas play, The Navity, really spoke to me in that its point was missing Jesus. Not only do I feel that I missed out on the joy, I know I missed out on the reason for all this nuttiness.
Next year will be different... I promise... really...
That being said, here are some highlights from yesterday. We spent the day at my parents. It was very nice not to be running around to a million different places. It was fun seeing Josh and Malia on her first Christmas and his second. Like all one-year-olds, the packaging was far more interesting than the gifts. He did end up playing with some of his toys, but it was all so overwhelming... I can relate!
Notice the shirt... Christmas present from Tim. He bought it at Disney Vault, which is an amazing place to buy really cool Disney stuff.
My dad started a great tradition several years ago. He buys a very special BIG gift for the girls and then sends them "clue" letters (I use the word "clue" in the loosest of terms.) If, after five letters, they are able to guess on Christmas day what their present is, he rewards them with $5. Both guessed correctly this year!!
Regan got a Wii!
