We survived the apocalypse, we hope you did too. I haven't been doing much the last couple of weeks. We had Christmas Eve at my parents house, and celebrated Christmas morning at our house. Growing up, we always opened presents on Xmas Eve. Santa would come at some random point in the days before Xmas, and sneak the presents under the tree. Now that I have kids, I want to do it right. I always pictured my kids running into the living room and tearing into the presents under the tree. They had so much fun on Christmas morning. They ran into the living room, just like I had imagined, and my son (3) says "where is santa?" Then they ripped into their presents and played until noon, when we went to my moms for Christmas Lunch. It was a great day, surrounded by family, stuffed with food.
Oh... We took the kids to the "Holiday Train" this year. It is a train that goes through Canada, and certain parts of the U.S. We are lucky enough to live in a town where this train stops. Everyone lines up along the railroad crossing arms and the train, decked front to back with lights, stops. Santa gets out and hands train whistles to the kids. A train car opens up and a band plays all sorts of Christmas music, and they give a check to the Mayor. It is a lot of fun, and puts everyone in the Xmas spirit. Unfortunately this year it was 5 degrees F outside, so we only stayed for a couple of songs before our feet were frozen. The kids loved it and cried when we had to go.
I hope you all have had a GREAT 2012 and are looking forward to my posts in 2013 :)
As always, thanks for reading!!! Happy New Year ALL!!!!!
