ANDY: who thinks fun is seeing the smiles on my childrens faces!
Hey Andy, when I lightened up and stopped harping about pagan roots and whatnot, I really began to enjoy the holidays and the festivities. I must admit, that I am not much of a traditionalist, I tend to plan things and if it happens, great, if not, no big deal. My children are much the same. they enjoy Christmas for the presents, the lights, the build up, the parties, but if they don't get everything they want, or if things aren't exactly as the neighbors', so what. They love it anyways and I have never had them complain. I have had many a witness theorize about disappointed, bratty kids at Christmas time. They should come to my house, I have the greatest kids, they are the most grateful, sweet, sensitive, caring kids a mother could want:)
