I look forward to spending more time with my four nephews at the holidays. Last year there were three, now I have four.
Although we meet during the year, it seems like they come alive even more during the holidays. They are only allowed to watch limited TV.; however the media seems to have creeped up into their sphere through osmosis or otherwise. Through their world, I have been enlightened over the years with all the toys that delight them, from Thomas the Tank to the personlizaed cars, all these with faces and personalities of their own.
Looking back, I grew up in a relatively quiet household with a mellow family and one younger sister. There were no boys in the family for quite a while. Now my four active nephews keep us all on our toes.
Keeping up with all the latest games and fads is another challege we grown ups have. Trying to make sense of what seems senseless playthings. The house is decorated, the stockings up and the boys all filled with wonder about what they will find.; The oldest one is sworn to keep the secret about Santa’s true identity so not to spoil it for the others.
As Christmas Eve draws near, so does the anticipation of opening presents and remembering the true meaning of the Christian holiday.
I wish you a very happy holiday and may you new year be filled with lots of good fortune, love, laughter and perhaps a nephew or two to brighten your world.
WISHING YOU A SPECIAL HOLIDAY CELEBRATION!!
