For some reason I woke at at 6:15 this morning.. I laughed at the thought that from somewhere deep inside me that the Santa's been here memory must have been triggered. I closed my eyes to go back to sleep and as I drifted away I thought of Christmases long ago.
I remembered Christmas trees bright with lights in the early morning darkness, and I remembered my dad. I remembered having so much to see I didn't know where to look. I remembered being so happy I almost had no words.
I remembered Christmas spent at Grandma Gails. I remembered Grandpa and his reindeer antlers. I remembered arguing with Richard and Valarie over whose presents were better.
I remembered Dakota's first Christmas. I remembered how he really didn't want anything to with the packages.He was more intrested in the tree.
I remembered the Christmas before last...spent with David.... I remembered how David gave Dakota the huge remote control Dodge Ram I bought him because they wanted to take it and play in the snow.
I remembered last Christmas....spent in Charleston.
It seemed Christmas memories kept flooding back to me. Needless to say, I couldnt fall back to sleep.....;) So I got up curled up in my recliner and drank a cup of hot tea as I continued to reminsce in the Christmas's past...... Today was truly a great day. Dakota had a wonderful Christmas. He got almost everything he wanted and a few things he didn't know he wanted...:D That in itself made today a perfect day. Just to see the smile on his face, to watch him playing with his new stuff....I can't believe he is almost 7 but that is a whole nother blog in itself.....
