Christmas

Little Man and I were going to do some shopping yesterday. Since it's almost Thanksgiving I thought I'd check out 2 of the stations here in the Cities and see if they are playing Christmas music (they play nothing but Christmas music until Christmas Day.). They were! So Little Man and I were rockin' out. I explained to him what kind of music was on. I wasn't sure if he would understand but thought it couldn't hurt.

We went to Target with my mom and walked through the Christmas section and looked at the different lights, wreaths, ornaments and candy. He oohed and aahed over everything. Then we went to Bachmans so my mom could look for this red ornament. (Her other one was broke by me and Little Man. Whoops!) Little Man pointed at all the Christmas tree's and announced 'CHRISTMAS!'

Last night after exchanging a shirt at Cabela's we went out to eat. On the way home we passed a house that had it's Christmas decorations up. I pointed them out to Little Man. We drive some more and Little Man shouts 'Christmas!' and is pointing at another house that has 2 trees decorated. I think he's getting in the Christmas spirit now. :)

I also had an idea that we might have to rent Polar Express next month. I think Little Man will like that movie.

Mmmmmm. Even now that I'man adult, this season feels so full of promise and joy. So cool your son feels it, too.

It's that sense of anticipation that makes Christmas so fun for kids!

You reminded me of last year when my,then - almost three year old - kept announcing, "A Kip-a-mus tree" as we passed them in the car.

I wonder if she has fixed the word pronunciation this year. Probably...but it was cute.
