Mince Pies & Merriment

LESS THAN TEN DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS DAY!!
I normally find my excitement levels peaking when we get into the 20s (December 20^th, in other words) but this year I seem to be over-the-top with Yule love already. Maybe it’s the Mathew Birthday Excitement kicking in. It’s so nice to have his big day just before Jesus’s Big Day. He’s 2 this year, so I think he’ll be more into the whole experience of tearing paper off and seeing what’s beneath, whereas last year he didn’t have a clue and we did everything for him. This is probably the first year where he’ll be into it, and the first year where he’ll start making memories that will build annually and turn him into as much of a festive freak as I am. And I get to see it happening from the start.
No wonder I’m so excited!
