I wasn’t sure what to expect this Christmas season and I was a little nervous that I would feel sad or disappointed. You see this is the first year that the boys don’t believe in Santa anymore. They put their heads together and figured it out this past Easter. I wasn’t surprised, they are 9 and 11 and very bright. I knew last year, with all the questions, that they were getting close to figuring it out. They have been strictly instructed not to tell any other kids and I think they like the idea that they are in on the grown-up thing.
I guess I was worried that they wouldn’t get into the whole idea of preparing for Christmas as much now that they knew. Boy was I wrong. When asked about it, both boys said they wanted to be surprised with a few smaller gifts instead of one main gift that they knew about. Yay! I love surprising them! Finding the perfect thing to surprise them with is half the fun for me. Seeing their excited faces when they get their surprises is the best. We spent all day Friday and half of Saturday baking and decorating cookies. JJ has been so excited about helping pick out new Christmas music. And Shane has already asked when we can get a tree.
I would say that this Christmas will be just as magical as all the others.
