Hands down Christmas is my most favourite time of the year. I remember when I
was about 5 I found a piece of white cotton on the end of Grandpa’s bed. “It’s from
Santa’s whiskers” he exclaimed. I think my eyes nearly popped right out of my head.
Now I get to witness that same look of pure excitement on my own children’s faces.
Nothing on earth beats the sound of laughter and excitement from
Owen and Macy on Christmas morning.
Season’s Greetings from Karen at Lick the Bowl!
