Well we made it to Christmas 2020. For me it is compounded by the fact that Peanut has made it crystal clear she no longer believes in Santa. The boy indulged me for years, and just rolled with it. Peanut on the other hand rolls her eyes when ever I mention Santa. Although that eye roll applies to most things I say, okay fine everything I say. I also knew this day was coming, but she’s the baby so yeah that. Its okay though the Christmas spirit is alive in this house. We’ve been decorated since before Thanksgiving I learned many many totes of Christmas things means many many days of decorating 25 to be exact and if I add something that’s a bunch of rearranging. We do Christmas different around here the biggest being nothing under the tree is from me and the hubs. Yes you read that right all of it ALL of it is from the big man up north. I know how people feel about this but here is my thing I don’t care. Our reasoning is one day they will know anyways. They will know we did it all. I don’t need the credit now for the Xbox or the huge Lego set I will curse out when I find a piece in the middle of the night. The hubs is in complete agreement and we enjoy seeing the magic of Christmas morning in their eyes. If you can’t tell Christmas is a big deal around here. Usually its cookie decorating with cousins, Christmas crafts with our friends, a huge Christmas eve party at my mom in laws (super convenient as she lives next door), Christmas morning with our kids, back next door for present and coffee with mom in law and then back home for Christmas with my family. This year like most we are scaling way back, and I have to say I have enjoyed it. With Peanut remote learning 2-3 days a week we’ve done more baking together more decorating together. The hubs and I have spent more time shopping together mostly online but still. The boy well he comes and goes he’s working and things but even he seems to suddenly be around more. Even scaled back the Christmas magic is still in the air. I hope you all find Christmas magic this year no matter how different Christmas is this year!
