Journal Entry: December 24,2014

It's Christmas Eve so I fantasize about future Christmas Eves. I fantasize about putting the Christmas-tree up and having the kids help us decorate. I fantasize about getting the kids dressed in their best clothes and showing them off for Christmas Eve Mass at the local church. I daydream about seeing the excitement in my kids' eyes later that night and especially tomorrow morning when Santa brings them all of those toys and how happy they get when they get their dollies and scooters and I-pads and video games and get upset and toss their underwear, socks, pajamas, and other "boring" presents to the side as well.
