The night before christmas

When I was growing up the night before christmas was such an exciting time , it was always so hard to sleep and I always tried to stay awake as long to see if I could hear Father Christmas arrival. It's such a funny thing - Christmas is such an integral part of my childhood memorie and is such a foreign concept for my kids. Last year celebrating Christmas in NZ with my family was such a delight they still talk about it, although Maia did ask me today why no one said " Ho ho ho". So I closed my self away tonight , put on some Christmas music , a glass of wine , and thought about christmas old. Anyway , shabbath shalom and a lovely christmas to all !
