...with the kids jingle belling
and everyone telling you "Be of good cheer!"
it's the most wonderful time of the year.
I don't know about you, but I {heart} Christmas. That may or may not have to do with my love of shopping, but whatever. Giving gifts to others, listening to my kids sing Christmas songs and talk about the birth of Jesus, and the weather in Arizona makes me happy! Obviously, cause it's the most wonderful time of the year. However, it's hard to always be in good cheer when your children go from singing Christmas songs to little psychos. PSYCHOS. They know Santa Claus is coming to town so they make a plot...
"Hey, let's see how bad we can be before our names really go on the naughty list!!!"
...they fight, they break things, they destroy the house and refuse to clean up, they yell and talk back. They drive me crazy. (As I type this, Lincoln is trying to hit Finley with a hockey stick.)
I recently saw a post on Facebook where a mom canceled Christmas for her kids. No presents, no stockings, no Santa. This lady gained serious points in my book, and I must follow in her footsteps when my kids are a little older and can truly understand the importance of giving.
Until then, Santa sits on a thrown of lies. There's room for everyone on the nice list, even my three little heathens.
