Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved Christmas eve. The preparation, the anticipation, the running to the store five times for just one last thing. The secret notes and cards and gifts being made behind closed doors. The kindness. the joy.
Joy and Beauty.
Joy and Beauty and waiting.
the smell in my house after making Nanny's sweet rolls.
The carpet picnic and polar Express movie.
the opening of three gifts (book, ornament and jammies)
The togetherness.
The reindeer food
Secretly putting our gifts under the tree after the visions of sugarplums are dancing in their heads.
Catching the end just as we're tucking ourselves in.
The candlelight service at Church.
Christmas vacation and whiskey sours by the fire. We know every line.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
