Robyn, I can't beli...You guys are all so wise.<br /><br />Robyn, I can't believe I didn't include any food on my list of magical things. Food is always magical.<br /><br />Jen, I miss Grandpa Santa as well. I also really love that someone always "ruins Christmas" it's one of our best family Christmas traditions.<br /><br />Mom, now Robyn takes the role of waking me up at unearthly hours. But if you miss getting up ridiculously early I would be willing to hide some alarm clocks in your room set to go off at a number of unearthly times.<br /><br />Jared, I was 6, how was I to know how many people there were? But thanks for the correction.<br /><br />Patty, I like your empirical evidence. I think it's settled. Santa is real.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357398682419756851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-6814433444060101042010-12-13T11:59:50.282-07:002010-12-13T11:59:50.282-07:00I always kind of new Santa wasn't real but I a...I always kind of new Santa wasn't real but I also just enjoyed believing in him. In fact I have empircal evidence that he is real. The first year I did not leave out cookies (which may or may not have been when I was 13) I woke up Christmas morning and was ridiculously sick. Santa had cursed me for giving up on him. There is your empirical evidence.<br /><br />My favorite part is probably just the excitement everyone has. Finals ending, gift giving, lights, and muppets christmas carol. it's awesome.patty dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11273258979628536628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-32082637215500332252010-12-13T09:05:27.344-07:002010-12-13T09:05:27.344-07:00First: according to google charts there were only ...First: according to google charts there were only about 5 billion people alive when you were wondering how he made it to 6 billion people.<br /><br />On a separate note, I love snow. Two years ago I sat on my parent's porch on Christmas night with some hot chocolate. I sat there and watched the snow fall under the street lamp. It was magical. That was a really, really rough time in my life, but those few moments in the snow helped so much. That is what I love about Christmas.Jared W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09091250369286400515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-80260241344972386002010-12-13T00:18:55.220-07:002010-12-13T00:18:55.220-07:00I love the family parties, the old Stevenson progr...I love the family parties, the old Stevenson programs--how I wish we would have video taped all of those. I loved how you would wake us up at unearthly hours and we would say go back to sleep-but really I loved that you were excited. I love all the work, all the thinking hard about what to get, what will be special or just fun. I guess mostly I just love being with people that I love and sharing a moment of happiness with them.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225525158114828242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-63039399999912981882010-12-12T23:43:05.805-07:002010-12-12T23:43:05.805-07:00I love the snow.

I like presents - especially watching others open up "that special gift". I love how excited mom and Mellen get about Christmas traditions. I love that someone always "ruins Christmas", and I love that we don't have a lot of traditions for Christmas day.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191688082941672114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-44859068991118964892010-12-12T16:40:41.002-07:002010-12-12T16:40:41.002-07:00Making Christmas treats!

I love making them to share and seeing the smiles that light up peoples faces when they have had a treat that tastes delicious to them! I think cooking is magic, now I just need and elf to do all the cleaning up after the magic is done.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215365331722185746noreply@blogger.com
