It is not even dawn as I post this A.M. The kids are still tucked sleepily in their beds....ahem, well Reed is tucked into mine between his Daddy and a pillow where I was just laying. I can hardly wait for them to get up, I know I get as or more excited than everyone in this house.
I LOVE Christmas......and for all the reasons you should.....I don't care if I ever get a gift it is just the being with my family and friends and remembering........
I do a lot of that this time of year.....remembering.....
My little brother Jason will be gone 10 years next year, and on mornings like this my heart aches like that first day I lost him. Christmas was his favorite too......we use to wake up so early, but no matter how many fights we had we always woke the other up to go see what Santa brought, and it was usually in the wee hours of the morning. I guess that is why I get up so early before every one else, even if I go back to bed so the kids can get me up in a few hours (or minutes you never know with Reed he is usually an early riser, but so far in 5 years he has habitually slept in on Christmas morning.)
I guess I think it brings us close again, Jason and I, my memories of my family are all good at Christmas, so my heart always remembers him the most today. He loved this morning as much as me, and I will always love it b/c of him.........I love and miss you so much, Merry Christmas, Jay..........
love,
Sissy
So, I am off back to bed, so I can get the full effect of being "awakened" to screams of "Santa has came" you would be crazy not to love this morning.....Merry Christmas to all
