Holidays Through the Eyes of Children

I’ve found that re-connecting with the magical wonder the season brings gives true meaning to the word “joy”. Share the holiday joy through the eyes of children and take in all this season has to offer.

Lights. Have you made a trip down a lighted street? It’s so much fun to see! We visited a street called “Candy Cane Lane”. It was so neat to see the different celebrations blended together with lights. I had so much pleasure from my two boy’s reactions. We must’ve gone down the street 5 times!

Music. I loved listening to my older son, Ty performing holiday songs at his school. He had a special role as Santa (see photo). I felt so proud, I wanted to shout, “that’s MY son!”

Imagination. Listening to my older son share his beliefs about Santa made me smile. He asked, “How is he going to fit down our chimney? He’s too fat!”

Tradition. I enjoy sharing our traditions with our children. I share the Hannukah tradition of lighting the menorah and singing each of the seven nights, while Brad shares his Christmas traditions. Together we’ve created our own tradition which we call “The “Holliday” Dinner”. Brad makes his famous stir fry and mom always brings her delicious homemade brownies!

Happy Holidays! Wishing you much joy and magical wonder!
