Yep, his fifth Christmas and he finally really got it…Santa comes down the chimney, eats milk and cookies, gives us presents and we get to open them. But don’t forget about the real Christmas story and prayer before opening presents. Or about the three presents Santa promised when Daddy called him since it was too scary to meet Santa in person.
No, we definitely can’t forget those details. Nor will we forget when our son prayed last night before dinner…including God, aliens, Santa, cookies, and more. It even reduced Chris Brogan to tears (from laughter)!
And then this morning, he actually started to pray to Santa. Um, I think he’s a little confused. But, when he opens every present and says, “This is exactly what I wanted!” how can you do anything but smile and love his innocence.
Today’s image was one of those moments when he could hardly contain his excitement. It represents the excitement of the day for him and for all of us. I hope your day and memories are bright this year. Hold on to them until the next. Merry Christmas!
Feature Friday: Since it’s Christmas, I’m going to postpone Feature Friday until next week. Hope that’s okay.
Manual: Yes, I read a page since I hadn’t heard from Scott Bourne about whether or not I could skip it. Page i—Table of Contents.
Images: Looked at images in my new book about handpainting photographs. Interesting idea.
