I ...I am glad you got a post up at all, Stephanie! I was looking forward to it. :) I think the biggest thing about Christmas for me is when I stopped believing in Santa. I hated the idea that he didn't really exist, so I pretended that I hadn't found out so I could still enjoy a bit of the magic... See, this is why I read fantasy books! I so want to live in a fantasy world. lol<BR/><BR/>Thanks for joining in!

We are also busy working and it is hard to find the right Holiday spirit, but the Blog Advent Calender has really been able to put me in the mood many days. There are a lot of great posts and yours is no exception. And then it doesn't matter that it was a day late and a dollar short ;o)<BR/><BR/>LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-54855400800226980242008-12-15T09:15:00.000-06:002008-12-15T09:15:00.000-06:00lol, the Griswald's...I've watched those movies so...lol, the Griswald's...I've watched those movies so many times.<BR/><BR/>My family has no children at this point...we're at that stage where the youngest members are already in their twenties, but nobody has children of their own yet. I really miss the Santa Claus magic! I remember that even when I stopped believing myself I'd play along for my younger cousins, and it was a lot of fun.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-10801394663989474172008-12-15T06:54:00.000-06:002008-12-15T06:54:00.000-06:00LOL!
