The week after Thanksgiving we begin decorating the house for Christmas. We have a pretty quick turn over in this house to get things "Christmas-ified". Part of the reason is because we have a toddler with whom we are so excited to share this season. The other part is Mike. He LOVES Christmas! I have to hold him back from listening to Christmas music during the entire month of November. So come the Monday after Thanksgiving....it's go time.
We get the decorations out....and play with some.
Charlie puts up a Santa...
and admires his picture with Santa.
He goes around the house saying things like, "Sanna? Sanna?" "Tismas Tee." "Lights...niiice!" "Stah". Translated: Santa, Christmas Tree, lights are nice, and star.
Then he takes a break and helps Daddy fix things.
Amidst all this fun, something even more fun happens....St. Nick fills his stocking!!!!!
There is nothing like reaching into the stocking to see what treasures await us.
Then he gets to play with his toys....
while we pester him with things...like eating.
Charlie loves the Christmas tree, especially the lights and the star at the top! We put only "safe" ornaments on the tree this year with the safest of the safe toward the bottom. He loves spinning the balls.
The house is decorated. The tree is up. Baby Jesus is in his manger. St. Nick came. Songs are being sung and cookies are being eaten. What is left to do? I guess nothing...except wait for Santa.
