We are really enjoying our first Christmas with Lillian. She has taken immediately to decorations, outdoor lighting displays, Christmas music, present-wrapping, and the various TV specials of the season, particularly versions of the Nutcracker ballet, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Rudolph is a lifelong favorite of Mommy's too, but Daddy has always thought it was too sad for little kids. He's probably right, but Lillian and Mommy love it anyway. We even made a display of various Rudolph characters on the landing, including the scary Abominable Snow Monster.
Lillian loves to say "Christmas lights," which she pronounces with accentuation of every syllable: "Oh, look, Mommy! Christ-Mas-Light!" She also knows whose birth Christmas celebrates and expects to put coins in the Salvation Army bucket in front of every store so she can "share."
We are so blessed.
