It’s November and we all know what that means, the holidays are approaching! Holidays with babies, toddlers and especially kiddies can be so much fun.
We like to keep Christmas alive with holiday traditions and time spent with family. Every year, ever since i was a little girl someone in my family made Santa and Christmas come to life! Whether it would be dressing up as Santa and running around the house, calling the phones pretending to be Santa, or tracking Santa online. Christmas was alway so special to me, the house full of decorations, the games we would play, the Christmas songs we would sing every year, and just the warm nights spent with family.
As Christmas gets closer, i want to restore the fact that Christmas isn’t just about gifts. It’s about Jesus, the baby in the manger. And if you aren’t a religious person, it is a special time to spend with family regardless.
If you do have kiddies, please make Christmas as special as you can. Not everyone has the means to buy countless gifts, but the memories are what these kids will keep with them forever. I’ll tell ya, i can’t remember what i got on Christmas as a child but i do remember all the fun things we did together as a family. I was so blessed to have a family who made Christmas so fun and special for me, i get to now do that for my younger siblings and my own children. There is nothing like making memories with your family. Moments you know you will hold close forever.
I know Christmas can be stressful, so to those parents out there who maybe can’t afford the biggest Christmas this year, that is OKAY! Just make it fun, make memories and enjoy the time you have with your family. Because soon enough, those babies won’t be babies anymore. Santa won’t be real and all you will have, are those memories.
So remember, enjoy Christmas. Spend time with your family. And make it fun! I hope everyone has happy holidays!
