Christmas was wonderful this year. It came and went quickly, which is unfortunate, but it was fun and Brayden really enjoyed it this year, which made it even more enjoyable for us. He really got into Santa this year, not really Santa "in person", he is still a little unsure of actually going to see Santa, but liked to talk about him and kept mentioning how Santa was coming and that he had to be a "good boy". I put on Polar Express one day on TV and the child became entranced with the movie. We watched it probably twenty or more times before Christmas (actually we are still watching it!) and he now knows the words and dances to all of the songs. Santa is the major theme of the movie so I think by watching it, it allowed Brayden to realize how magical Santa is.
It snowed Christmas Eve. What a beautiful sight that was! I think the Dallas Morning News said it has never snowed on Christmas Eve since the National Weather Service has begun recording weather in Dallas (which dates to I believe the late 1890s) - which is pretty unbelievable but honestly I do not ever remember it snowing on Christmas! It was so fun to wake up to snow Christmas morning.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that 2010 is a great year for all.
