Back on the bandwagon

Sidenote: I love that movie!


Ok, I've been a major slacker on this here blog and truthfully I kind of forgot about it until this week. My mom finally discovered it and told to keep it up, so here I go!

It's Christmas time! Starting today I am off work with the kiddos for the next week and a half. A few holidays and 2 glorious weekends with the hubs to go! My 'rents have tickets for us to go to the New Year's Day Falcons game and I cannot even tell how excited we are!

Other than it being a celebration for Jesus' birth, Christmas is getting more wonderful every year. The kiddos are getting bigger and older and are being able to take part in more traditions (that we make up as we go). Movies: they love the classics so far. White Christmas, Rudolph, Holiday Inn. We are going to tackle Miracle on 34th Street today.
I've just been approached with the question "Why don't elves have birthdays on Christmas, just Jesus?" Oh, little one, how you stump me with your mind powers. We have taken the Santa approach that St. Nick was real and Santa is fun, but for pretend. I do remind Lolly not to tell the other kids though!

Riddle me this: how did my son, who is 2, get more presents from his class than he will get on Christmas?! Truly, I feel this is more of a parent thing. I refuse to enter into competition.

Merry Christmas from the CutiePies!
What Christmas traditions do you have? Which do you want to start? I love the idea of an Advent Calendar... maybe next year, eh?
