A Very Magical Christmas

As I look back on our Christmas day, I am reminded of the many blessings that we were given.  Yesterday was filled with the definite love and joy of family and our closest friends.  The magic of Christmas filled our home a few hours before it hit midnight on Christmas Eve.  My little one scurried through the house to prepare for the arrival of good ol' Saint Nick.  The reindeer dust was sprinkled throughout the front yard and the letter to Santa was hand-written in the most neatest 6 year old handwriting ever!  The cookies were laid out, and the glass of milk poured, waiting patiently on the side table that laid near my little boy's head as he layed himself to sleep.  It was a restless night for me but a rather peaceful night for my son, I almost wondered if he was dreaming of sugar plums danced in his little head.  I was awaken in the morning by him presenting the letter that Santa had written back to him and a full report of the devoured cookies, the empty glass, and the stack of presents that lay on his side table.  The usual crumbled wrapping paper, empty boxes, and Christmas bows scattered about the place and us not caring that the house was a complete mess.  We were later graced with the presence of wonderful friends and our much older children.  We feasted on some awesome grub, we laughed, we prayed, and we all felt the joy and peace of the spirit of Christmas.  I am almost saddened that the day went by rather quick but knowing that every minute was definitely worth it.  These were our blessings!  The laughter of the children in the background and the satisfied sighs of the adults cherishing the last bite of their custard pie.  Could it get any better than this?  It was indeed a very magical Christmas! 

Hoping that you all out there had a very Sweet and Merry Christmas and that you were able to cherish in your blessings for the day.

Happy Holidays!

Peace & Love
