2011-12-11 // It's almost 2012?
Glad almost all of our shopping is done, and Santa is all ready for our house.
It happens every year, but around November-December we always wonder where the year went. Is it because of the good times? I think so, it seems like the fun stuff makes time seem to fly by, while the boring and awful stuff takes forever to get through. That's not to say that you'll feel like you have more time if you do more boring things and deal with more awful events. It's the quality of the time that matters just as much. But, I digress (often).
We're looking forward to Christmas this year, the three kids are at a great age for it - 10, almost 5, and 18 months. It's going to be a lot of fun watching their faces and getting pictures of reactions as they tear the paper apart to see what's inside. This is one of the many times that I love being a parent. I remember how much my brother and I looked forward to getting up early, plowing through our stockings 'til it was “late” enough to wake up our parents (that was the rule), and reveling in the day.
That's what I hope my kids remember when they're older, and especially as they (hopefully? probably?) have kids of their own.
