Chirstmas Magic

When he looses

his contact

again

for the gazillionth time

it feels like

it's never 

gonna let up.

You check

his clothes

his crib

his highchair

the kitchen

the living room

the hallway

under toys

and at some point

you just

stop

but the funny things is

your instinct to look

really doesn't

stop.

 

So I'm eating dinner

I look down 

and there it is

a little tiny shinny spot

on the carpet

in the middle of the house

where the most traffic is

where we all looked

and walked over 

so many times.

Christmas Magic

the Contact Fairy

who knows

but we got it

back,

I still believe!

 

So Grandma and I

packed the kids 

in the car

while Daddy stayed 

home and baked 

Christmas Cookies.

 

We were feelin it

that Christmas Magic

so off to see 

Santa 

we went.

It was a perfect night

cold but not freezing

the line to see Him

was just long enough

so we waited.

She professionally

people watches.

He goes

He sees

He touches

They were perfect

It was perfect

The suspense

was building

the children 

were buzzing.

We arrived

on his sleigh!

The jingle bells

were jingling.

The little boy

was touching.

The little girl 

was watching...

a train up above.

 

And then...

I think 

everyone has

a memory

a feeling

a sight

a smell

of that momemt

your moment 

with Santa.

To bring your child

my children

to this moment

and see 

it happen

for the first time

the Magic 

is undeniable.

 

He who

doesn't go first

who is 

oh so shy

was the first

was not afraid.

And then

you start

to believe

even more

in that Magic.

 

She who 

normally leads

followed her

brother's lead

this time.

We were there

in His presense.

Christmas Magic

Pure fun

that is all 

I can say.

It was 

pure fun!

We came home 

to the smell 

of freshly baked

Christmas Cookies.

Can Christmas

get any better

than this?!

Let's just clarify

one last thing...

yes, he bakes

but I frost!  ;)

Merry Chirstmas!

Wishing everyone

a bit of that 

Christmas Magic!
