Someday…

Someday we’ll all gather together, drinking eggnog and nibbling on gingerbread cookies, with Christmas music playing, bonding together as we happily perform the yearly ritual of putting up our beloved Christmas tree. We’ll oooh and ahhh together over all of our sentimental ornaments. We’ll reminisce about Christmases past and dream together about Christmases future. When the tree is up and the empty ornament boxes are back in the basement we’ll sit quietly together in the glow of the lights, admiring our handiwork, and enjoying the moment. Until then…
Back to reality…
With two crazy four year olds and a six month old…
We consider it a major achievement that the tree is up.
We’ll leave it at that.
