This is my first child and I just feel like life has been breathed into the holiday season again. The holidays have always been nice, but it just feels even more special now that he is here. It is like I am a kid again along with him, being excited to decorate, wrap gifts, etc. Even though he won't remember it, this will probably be the best Christmas yet.
Re: Is this true for you too? re: holidays
Yes, I pretty much cry when I think about it. I saw a onesie at Baby Gap the other day . . . Christmas theme with a red box and the words, "the best gift." And seriously, I got teary. LOL.
There's just a lot more meaning this year.
I just bought this onesie today! I have always loved the holidays, but once I got married, it changed. We didnt really decorate and it kind of became a hassle to travel visiting families. Now that she is here though, I have a renewed energy and cant wait to get our tree up, her stocking all ready and presents under the tree! I am especially excited for Christmas Eve church service, because she as a beautiful little dress!
yes - even with DH away the holidays are filled with Child like wonder for me again! I am so looking forward to it!
