Christmas Time

So December in Texas is not what I remember Christmas time being like as a kid in Vermont, or even more recently Christmas time in Denver.  But for my son and daughter the lights and the decorations are magical.  They aren't going to grow up with the snow and the heavy coats and boots, but the magic still exists.  One year when they're older I'll make sure they get a New England Christmas, but just because things may feel a bit off for this Mama doesn't mean her kids will feel anything less than the wonder of childhood.
