It is just a great day to spend with family and yes, have a little magic happen. The magic can be the world's best eggs benedict.

I can see where the hassle of Christmas might seem like too much (I might have scrapped it this year if James wasn't so persistent). It's funny though, because I don't see the most primary traditions of Christmas as having anything to do with religion. The tree, Santa? Not much to do with the birth of Jesus there, just a celebration of a season and a little magic. I've actually considered getting a menorah too just to add to the fun and light a couple more candles, havent done it yet tgough! You guys should definately do what feels right and happy for you, but it is fun to have a tree with a couple lights- even if it's itty bitty :)Mama Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489450713167896817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-82622994330833617152012-12-14T22:01:16.443-07:002012-12-14T22:01:16.443-07:00Holy Cow, that couch brings back memories of the 7...Holy Cow, that couch brings back memories of the 70-80's. I know it's kind of wild... but it was so IN back in those days.<br /><br />I remember that first Christmas, we didn't have alot of money to spend, so I went to the fabric store and found the pre-printed, ready to cut out patterns and bought some quilt batting. For about $10. Of course I bought a few toys. As I remember, those balls were $.50 each. That cute green dress with the tree on it was made by your Grandmother Terry.<br /><br />I think you had just as much fun opening the presents and playing with the paper and ribbons, as you did with the toys. You also loved all the lights, so we would take a drive around our neighborhood to let you look at them.<br /><br />I do remember when I was a child, "Santa"... on his way back to the North Pole... (usually after Christmas, when things were on sale), would bring us another toy or gift on New Years Eve. I think it was a way for Mom to keep us entertained when they had friends over to celebrate the New Year.<br /><br />I hope you do a "little" something, just so you and your husband have some memories from Alice's first Christmas. Plus you take such great pictures... It would be fun to see Alice opening up a gift or two.<br /><br />XOXO Miss you 3.
