The magic of Christmas

Today Londyn met Santa for the first time.  I wasn't going to go since we are going on a train ride with Santa and Mrs. Clause on Saturday but my sister said as a parent these are things we must do.  So Gabby said this is really the first year Lyla is really excited about Santa.  I have to get use to this I even said to Gab in front of Lyla oh this Santa is a good one, haha I forget sometimes about these things.  Lyla who usually is scared of Santa was so happy a little frozen when she sat next to Santa but she told him what she wanted like as a little kid you are supposed to do.  Londyn looked at him and then was smiling she didn't shed one tear.  Maybe this will change next year but I was so proud of her.

So the magic of Christmas is believing in Santa.  Believe it or not I believed until 6th grade.  My mother even went as far as having Santa's elf's send me a letter so I figured how can he not be real.  My friends in my class would laugh and make fun of me.  Then one year I questioned how Santa knew that me and my cousins were cousins.  We would always get the same gifts and I couldn't understand how he did that.  So finally my cousins and sister explained that Santa wasn't real.  If I remember correctly it seemed like they all told me at once and made fun of me.  I was heartbroken.  Now I love Christmas because I get to spend it with family and now I have my little family.  Seeing Lyla so happy and believing made me excited to go through this with Londyn.
