I think I found you...

I have had a hard time getting into the Christmas Spirit this year for several reasons. Most of all, there has been so much going on that I barely have time to take a breath much less notice that Thanksgiving has already passed and Christmas Eve is a mere two weeks away. This is unusual for me, because I love holidays as a rule. But with all this Bah Humbug going on around me, I managed to get a glimpse of the Christmas Spirit yesterday. I took Grady to the zoo for their winter festival, and he loved it! The second we walked in, he looked up in rapture at the snow (yes, REAL snow, from a snow-blower). The temprature was a chilly 40*, which is a rarity in FL, even in December, and he was sportin' a warm hat I had to run out and buy 2 hours before our visit. He was all snuggly in his Christmas PJ's, coat and blanket, and his eyes didn't stop glowing and darting around the whole time we were there. As we rounded a corner, we saw a blow up snowglobe filled with presents, Santa, some reindeer and a snowman. Grady said "Tan-ta" and pointed and smiled. And there it was. Christmas in my little Man. The other pics are of when we took him to see "Tan-ta" today. Eh, still a cute memory!

"Where Are You Christmas"
Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play?
My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too
Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go
Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time
I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love
Where are you Christmas
Fill your heart with love

  • Wow. What an amazing post. I love the honesty. SO many people bottle in their TRUE feelings about Christmas. For most, it's a time of stress, inconvenience, and family disaster. I love this beautiful Christmas experience, because it's pure. ANd, that santa looks really cool.
