Okay,
I’m a sucker for Christmas, I’ll admit it. Maybe it’s because I just have so
many wonderful and exciting memories of it!
Being
allowed to open just one present on Christmas eve… dressing up to go to
midnight mass with mounds of sparkling white snow on the ground… not being able
to sleep a wink while trying to keep an ear open for Santa’s visit.
For
me, it’s truly the happiest holiday of the year.
Here’s
one my favorite memories: I’m the oldest of four children, so growing up, Mom
& Dad let me be the one who got to hand out the presents from under the
tree to my younger brothers and sister on Christmas morning. Despite fighting all
year long (as siblings do) they *loved* me that day!
Fast-forward
many years, and now I’m a romance author. I still love to make people happy. Who
knows? Maybe it all started from handing out those presents so long ago and
seeing the joy on my brothers’ and sister’s faces. Wherever it comes from, I
can’t wait to put up the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and watch How The
Grinch Stole Christmas on DVD. (I love Max!)
I
hope you have a wonderful Christmas (or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever you
celebrate) this year. I’ve got to get back to wrapping presents!
