At least once a day I think about Christmas.  Okay, who am I kidding, I think about it more than that.

From listening to Christmas music to decorating the outside of Brogdon House last Saturday (Don’t worry, I’ll be posting pictures soon!) to my parents getting the tree farm ready, I feel Christmas in the air.  And I can’t wait to experience this holiday through MM’s eyes.

I watch her as her eyes open wide when she sees the hanging lights from my mom’s gift shop.  Or the way she says ‘Oh Oh Oh’ when she touches the trees at Costco.  Or the way she smiles sitting in the sleigh at the farm.

I’ve already decided she’s going to get her very own tree in her room.  I’ve got blue and silver ornaments and small twinkly lights for her special tree to match her room.  I can just see her falling asleep watching the lights like I did ever holiday season of my own childhood.  (And, no worries, she’s never in her room unattended with a tree…just so you know)

I’m busy thinking about family traditions and new ones we want to create.  This really is an amazing season and I’m so glad we have MM with us this year.
