It is so easy to get caught up in all the things that need to be done yet and hubby can feel he is an after thought.

Take a moment to look into your hubby’s eyes and tell him you love, appreciate, and respect him for all he does for you.

In our house, we wake up on Christmas Eve morning and pretend it is Christmas day. We’ve done this for about 24 years now. Brian, Lauren, and Liam even spend the night so they are here first thing in the morning. We started doing this because we’d gotten the boys some gifts that were just too large to take to my parents’ home for them to open and we’ve continued because I liked letting them have the whole day to play with their new toys rather than having to wait some more. And now, it is just what we do.

So as so many are getting ready for Christmas tomorrow, wrapping those last gifts, we are spending a joyous Christmas part one and looking forward to Christmas part two tomorrow at my sister and her family’s place with them and my parents. We’re so thankful Daddy has recovered so well from his open heart surgery.

But I too, am making sure my hubby knows, he’s the most important person in my life. It’s been fun to surprise him with different things throughout the month be it some of his favorite homemade candy, a new ice scraper/snow brush, floss, or something intimate. It’s been a great holiday season so far. (And yes, I said holiday because it is the holidays starting the week before Thanksgiving and goes through Epiphany on January 6th.) I intend to continue onward and keep enjoying this beautiful season with my family. I hope you are making wonderful memories with your hubby and the rest of your family.

Until next time, God bless,
