My Favorite Holiday!






Deck the halls, Sleigh bells ringing, Oh little town of Bethlehem, Jingle bells Jingle bells, Dashing through the snow, We wish you a Merry Christmas!



Have I said, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!



This time of year reminds me so much of my childhood! I can't help but think of all the fun we had at Christmas time. We honestly had the very best Christmas's ever! My sisters and I would all gather in one bedroom upstairs for a slumber party. Not much of a slumber, but more of a party. We stayed up all night. Usually by 3 or 4 we were opening all of our presents. I still get butterflies in my stomach over Christmas! We heard reindeer on our roof top. We seen Rudolf's red nose. We knew Santa watched us and we tried so hard to be good. We even heard Santa's bells once or twice. So many memories we reminisce about know in life!



One of every ones favorite is me trying to sneak down the stairs. CCRRRRRREEAAAKKKYYY!



I would get down about half way and my mother would always say SYNDEE! GO BACK TO BED. What? First my name was the only name that she would say and second go back to bed we were never in bed!!! I gave them the bathroom excuse it worked well. The only problem was, I would have to walk through my parents room to get to the bathroom. Which you see, created the problem of NOT being able to see the TREE and the GOODS. How dare they! Well not to worry like I said 3 or 4a.m rolled around. They figured if they had a chance to get any sleep at all they would have to let us come down, open are gifts, and then they might be able to have a nap! Hahaha! We WON!



You can see the Miracle of Christmas is real! I dream of it every year. I love the children at this time. It is magical! It is still very magical for me as well. I think it has something to do with the fact that service is in the air all around!



My favorite Christmas story to tell, is the year my parents had very little money. Both of them very talented spent time doing odds and ends. So that they would be able to come up with, a Christmas that made are hearts sing and dance!



My mother made many many cabbage patch dolls that where so cute. From bums to toes to the realistic painted eyes. Each one had its own little charm and differences. She made something like 103 of the dolls for others to enjoy on Christmas morning! Little did we know, that is how they afforded Gifts for us that year. We had no idea until that morning my dad told us.
Tears fill my eyes every time I think of this. My mom had blisters on her fingers and a lot of the time created them when we would go to bed! MOMS are amazing! Simply amazing! She still makes lots of things for Christmas mostly blankets. I love getting new blankets when mine have worn holes. Thanks mom and dad!



Well as I reflect on this, I think of what my kids will remember when they get older. I can't wait for this Christmas with Kylee and Kynzee it is going to be great! Kylee is at that magical age and I more than anything what her dreams to come true!



I feel like our year has been a magical one as well. We are so blessed. We have had our prayers answered with a new bundle of JOY! We have been blessed with the means we needed to make that possible. We have had so many things to be grateful for that are unreal at times. So blessed and such a recipient of service! Thank you to are family and friends who have made our miracles happen! We are so grateful.



Leave me a comment on a miracle you have received this year! Then HUG your kids for me they make Christmas fun!
