I sit in my living room with my husband and after reading your story I thought of the years when my children were small. It's years ago of course, but I (and I think you also) will never forget those days around Christmas. The stress (family visiting), but also the amazement of the little children about the many lights in the house and in the streets. The Christmas festivities at their schools, their warm and serious faces when they sing Christmas songs.
Enjoy everything @meesterboom.
Happy Christmas for you and your family.
Happy Christmas to you and your family lass! The joy on their faces is worth it. They get so much out of it. I think I was just being quite the grump earlier!
