Christmas past, present and yet to come


No matter how many times you're told that "Christmas is all about the kids", I think this is the first year where I truly appreciated the truism. Scarlett was clearly oblivious to the entire event but Luc had a blast. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly though, the highlight for me was not seeing his face when he realised that Santa Claus had eaten the cookie and drunk the milk left out for him nor was it watching his eyes light up each time he opened one of his dozens of car themed gifts.

Instead highlights were provided by moments such as when Luc literally danced in the aisle of the church during the Christmas Eve carol service as well as him insisting on placing a tacky, plastic miniature Christmas tree underneath the big tree because "that's its mummy and it has to be near her" (sniff, sniff).

I can't wait until next Christmas!
