Like A Kid At Christmas
Every year when the boxes of lights and ornaments come down from the attic, the magic of childhood comes down with them. I can't help but get giddy over the anticipation and excitement of it all.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsEYU8o7vWAzhdYoeYHEg5DIdB4dmLW18CwkXg7rI1-45uWZzHckOD2YPeK2Lw6rIKdGHnrDXnzsLG8E0vCe9tD3TWGMClZGeo_7spofnwZI3d2aaJPIepsNcFeA8WPc6MLg4BErP2DYY/s400/IMG_4270.JPG)
Our tree isn't elegant, it doesn't have a theme, and it won't make the cover of Southern Living, but it is full of memories and stories. I love our star Matt made from a coat wire our first Christmas together. We didn't have the money to go buy one for our tree then. It's the best tree topper I know.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjICRF1NbIsJfAJbAjX03aKByGOhiO9O-RsTXlL3ZnUVI6VDIdMdp9ePwk1_O-yln_bKm2Dh2h4FkzKClKFZeqXyZsrGbAq2SxP0NY_YHDTJA2lGY92F46dTf35M5DKnC7hyixNbciHuiA/s400/IMG_4265.JPG)
I love the ornaments Mom got us every year since I was a very little girl. I love remembering why each one was picked. I love the large nail we hang on our tree to remind us of the ultimate gift God was giving that first Christmas, his son in a infant form to become a sacrifice for our sins.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_QE41oVpP0KR3MfGdGR8Tn3O65Vtxb_m-8pIlM7GmbQHTsfOwiCgpZiW1IPgJA1DpWt8oUOPBQEEIuYrLmFI6OJv6jtGA8gNhJMTtDPmF0mjWMFLPSq-J6pkk2O-ApoaFGZnR6KSU7Y/s400/IMG_4269.JPG)
I love telling Harrison about the ornaments and their stories. I love making new memories with my boys. I love having my children to share in the excitement and wonder. And I look forward to all the Christmases to come and the memories we will make.
