ah childhood memories.



this video makes me feel like christmas. i love it. it reminds me of my childhood.
decorating the christmas tree.
watching ice skating.
wearing my red foam antlers around the house.
wearing my red furry santa hat around the house.
making christmas cookies with mom, aunt charlotte, and sister.
opening a christmas present on christmas eve.
leaving cookies & milk for santa & not forgetting the cranberries & carrots for the reindeer.
picking out a christmas sweatshirt for my holiday dance performance.
digging to the bottom of my drawer for my favorite christmas socks.
wearing my christmas pajamas while watching the christmas TV specials.
the saturday night before christmas at my grandparents house.
eating cinnamon rolls.
making goodie plates for neighbors and dance teachers.
sending out christmas cards with a year update letter.

oh how i love christmas time. and oh how i miss the simplicity of youth. not a care in the world except for what you were going to ask Santa for for Christmas. funny how time flies isn't it? and when you're young, you can't WAIT to grow up. well, not that i'm old now, but i do miss the good old days. although i still find myself looking toward the future. i need to learn how to live in the moment and not worry about whats' to come. i know someday i will look back on right now and think "man i had it made." i need to enjoy it while it is here. i think i will add that to my list of new year's resolutions. i have so many, but hey a girl can dream right? i'm all for dreaming big. i think it's taking me quite far too. i believe i'll keep it up.
