It’s the most wonderful time of the year… yeah but it’s also the busiest! It’s so true that being a mum to little ones at Christmas is just magical. My eldest is just starting to really understand what Christmas is and all the fun that goes with it. The look on his face every time we see a Christmas tree or Santa is just bliss. It’s so heartwarming to see but bittersweet to know that actually the ‘magic’ of Christmas only really lasts a few years before ‘Santa’ is an uncool memory. But I am determined to make the most of each year until that sorrowful time.
To be honest I’m still trying to juggle life as a mum of two and trying to keep on top of things. Long gone are the days when I used to be ahead of the game but I literally can’t believe how must muming at Christmas can be!
There are so many things we want to do and go see but we just can’t seem to fit them in. Weekends are so short and the weeks are too busy with playgroup, work and general life. It’s just another thing to put into the balance but trying to remember that it’s these thing that will build lasting memories in my little ones heads is what makes it so worth it.
Let’s face it, everyone has at least a few special memories of Christmas traditions and things they did with their family. Even if your family is a little up and down, the magic of Christmas as a child is a memory that burns bright for most.
All we can do is try to enjoy the moment and make sure we build those magical memories for our little ones and for ourselves as we watch it all unfold.
Here’s to a very merry and busy Christmas to remember forever. Especially after the quietness of last year, go make some noise with your loved ones! x
