Here comes that season of the year and along comes the full
glory of it! It is pure joy to see my 6 year old son suddenly trying to be the
best child around right in the beginning of December. In fact the act begins
somewhere in November itself with his non-stop asking of how many days are left
for Christmas.
The TV viewing hours gradually begins to align with the
permitted timings, I pad viewing is sulkingly sacrificed, home works are done
with less of a pain and brushing at night is not an everyday’s battle.
He reminds me everyday that we have to do the best Christmas
tree decoration this time. Ofcourse, he would help me diligently like every
year.
Also, with all the environment and ecological awareness
given in the school, this time round he would like to have a real Christmas
tree instead of a fake one. Though, this looks like another trick to win points
with Santa to me. Thankfully, we have this small pine plant which will be the
perfect make do for Christmas tree. Bless the person who planted it in the
house in the first place!!
So we are done with the tree arrangement. This weekend’s
project is to have the Christmas tree up and decorated! I’m sure it will be a
lot of fun and laughter. I have some decorations left over from last season and
have added some new ones just to add some novelty. We just finished with letter
writing to Santa with my son last night. The letter is definitely a piece of
art!! The never ending promises to be the best kid for the coming year , the
list of gifts that he wants is full of options just incase Santa doesn’t find
that one right toy, all his good deeds are listed point wise so that Santa
knows he very well deserves all the requested gifts!!
I plan to leave work early one of the days this week to go
Christmas shopping and buy the listed toys and hide them well only to be placed
under the tree on Christmas eve after he sleeps off. Putting him to sleep each
Christmas eve is such a task. He insists on staying up all night and wait to
get a glimpse of Santa. Poor guy eventually falls off to sleep and then we finally
place the toys under the tree which we struggle to hide around the house. This
time round, I got these real beautiful hand patched Christmas stockings from
Hugsntugs to place the gifts under the Christmas tree. https://www.hugsntugs.com/Accessories/Christmas-Stockings. I will definitely save these for next year. They
definitely look like they will be good to go for some years.
I would love to remember these
years when he truly believes in the magic of Christmas, North Pole and Santa,
so unaware of how it really goes at the backend.
