Christmas gifts…

We all love to receive them. As a kid Christmas was the biggest holiday of the year. It was the one and only time we got new things. Clothes, books, toys etc…My grandmother made it so special. Even though she’s been gone for many years it’s still the memories I will never forget.

We used to go to church Christmas morning. Go home and have a nap. Then head to grandmas for dinner, and an all nighter. It was the most incredible night of our lives. I lived for books, series, I would give her continuous numbers in my series and she’d always get them. I devoured those books. The clothes were fun too, cause it was the only time we’d get them. We went to a private school with uniforms. The only reason we could afford the school was because my dad worked for them.

I always spend too much. I always love to give more than receive. Picking the perfect gift is the most amazing thing. It just warms my heart. Tears always flow. Cause I’m the sentimental sibling. I always get the special gifts. Goal is to get exactly what they want, yet also get them something they didn’t know they needed. Then there’s the usual clothes, socks, pjs. We always spend extra on the littles, there reactions are the most wonderful thing to see.

lol, we have two large dogs, and three cats so this is inevitable. Such a fun quote though. I guess that’s it friends. Life and writing are a work in progress…(just like me)😉
