Whiff of Joy Advent Calendar Window 16

Thanks so much for your kind words for my grandfather!

Christmas is a magic tradition. Especially for our children. I can’t wait for my boy’s bright eyes when they see the christmas tree with all it’s candles. Anticipation is what makes this season even more special. We love to read a christmas story every day, light a lot of candles in the evening and sing carols.

The wonderful scrap shown below is from Lacey and features Willow with Toddler.

Every year I'd wait for the season
Only Christmas time can bring
I thought I understood the reason
For all the parties and caroling

Every year I'd search for the meaning
Every time I'd dress the tree
Each new ornament and garland
Each decoration was all I'd see
And all that Christmas meant to me Then someone told me Christmas is for children
And I left that behind too long ago
But now I see Christmas through a child's eyes
My new son's eyes

Now every time we ring in the season
And play a Christmas melody
I know that the moment he hears it
He'll bring Christmas back to me
