Christmas morning was sweet as I placed our video camera on the tripod, camera in hand. We all woke up Christmas morning at grandma's house complete with presents, stockings, laughter, tears and good 'ole breakfast. I've recently settled on the notion that Christmas must look a certain way and now that we have kids, we should implement those notions. One of those ideas, a key one, is that we need/want to be home Christmas morning. I love the idea of waking up Christmas morning in our home with our children and celebrating the day together. There are so many different traditions and ideas people may have about this very special day. After this Christmas I realized for my family, that there's a good chance it could look different every year. I thoroughly enjoyed this year and have a hard time giving up a Christmas morning and day not spent with all of my family. That's what it looks like for me; all of the family together eating, laughing, teasing each other and just enjoying the company. I would almost feel lonely on such a day if we were home this year. It most likely will be different as our kids get older, but for now, I'm happy with my big family Christmas, even if it means drama will enfold and we have to make the long drive back home the next day. Merry Christmas!!
