Ah, Christmas. I think we can all agree when I say that Christmas is what makes the whole month of December something to look forward to.
I just love all of it! The decorated streets around town, the smell of homebaked cookies, coming up with ideas for gifts to give to my family and friends.
And of course, everything about Christmas is even more special for the littles. The magic around Santa and Christmas stories, counting down to Christmas Day when they can *finally* open the presents.
It’s just such a big part of being a kid!
