Christmas

Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. Even better than my birthday- even as a kid. I mean, whose family comes from all over the city and state just to wish you a happy birthday, unless of course, you're the oldest person they know and they like that they are related to you! In my experience, when you have a birthday, you were lucky if you got your birthday dinner that day and not three months later! LOL
Anyway, I digress and have lost my train of thought and so, must begin again!
Christmas is my fav- yeah, whatever! I'm excited because it seems like Dustin might have already gotten me some presents. And maybe some of the things I asked for, too. Smart man!
But really, I'm looking forward to seeing the family at Aunt Rhonda's house. It's the one time a year that the family will most likely be together in it's entirety.
I have always loved that part the most. The presents were nice, but I just loved the feeling of being surrounded by people who cared so much about each other. It was wonderful. I hated when it was over!
Now that I'm older, I anticipate other things, but that's still my favorite thing about Christmas.
Now I have my daughter to immerse in the love of a large and diverse family group. And she likes presents!
