Every year I think of us laying in my mom and dad's bed and we absolutely heard him on the roof!!!! You and I loved our stockings more than anything!! All the fun bath stuff and little girly things. I was actually just telling Azem about our matching PJs. I think I looked forward to seeing what kind of jammies we were going to be wearing just as much as did opening presents!! Oh, the memories. Wonderful memories that can never be taken away. Including the memories of remote control cars slamming into our little legs as we innocently tried to bake a cake in our EasyBake ovens!MamaStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942674057790662893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-37447248920387028822009-12-21T15:56:24.118-06:002009-12-21T15:56:24.118-06:00You put my thoughts into words exactly!!You put my thoughts into words exactly!!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020825680212161958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-978122448392202542009-12-21T15:53:35.714-06:002009-12-21T15:53:35.714-06:00I recently wrote a post about Santa and how magica...I recently wrote a post about Santa and how magical it is.

My husband and...Whitney - thanks for posting this. My husband and I both grew up not "allowed" to believe in Santa. My dad was quite legalistic and actually called him Satan Claus - which is HORRIBLE. Now that we have a son together we've been wondering how to go about this, since we never did the Santa thing. And of course, we want Christmas to continue to be about Jesus and His birth and what that means to us. After reading your post I think I defeinitely want Santa to be a part of our celebration of Christmas. IN hopes that he too can look back and remember this magical time of year with fond memories too.

But in my mind I have the same sort of wonderful memories you have. And even when I found out he wasn't real (I was sorely dissapointed) it didn't change the special magical memories I had. Not to mention I got to help my dad ring bells on the roof for my little sister and brother. I was then part of the conspiracy to make their Christmases just as magical as mine had been. And this year my son is 2 and I don't know who is more excited about Christmas him or me.Life and Times . . .https://www.blogger.com/profile/16831765275767754572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-57924146527810606352009-12-21T08:23:09.881-06:002009-12-21T08:23:09.881-06:00Whitney, I was going to post about this EXACT same...Whitney, I was going to post about this EXACT same thing tomorrow!!! :D Great minds think alike, I guess! :D I love all of your stories, because they are so similar to mine!
