Christmases past, I think back to the anticipation. I remember Santa's visits and all of the new things I would incessantly flash in anyone's face who would humor me. I remember hot chocolate, store bought cookies for Santa (we didn't grow up bakers), and being the center of attention (those I liked best, of course). I remember my grandmother making the best potato salad. I remember going to her house and seeing her modest tree all decorated, even if it was just for us kids. I remember not ever thinking that one day I would grow up and everything would be different. My grandmother passed some years back, but the memories never fade. They are there with the spirit of Christmas and childlike anticipation. Let us not forget those who are not with us this Christmas.
Also, I am really rocking that Christmas sweater, don't ya think?
