second Christmas

Tonight is Christmas Eve round 2.

Since December 25th left much to be desired in terms of festive spirits and healthy, giggly children, we told the boys as soon as everyone was feeling healthy again, we would do Second Christmas for them. And so here we are, Christmas Eve-ing again.

Our house is probably the only one in the neighborhood with their Christmas lights still on. Our tree is casting Christmas-y flickers about the living room. As soon as the boys are asleep, Jason will be up building the boys' "big" gift down in the frigid basement and I will be wrapping the few gifts that arrived post-Christmas and listening to cheery Christmas music. Tomorrow we will read the Christmas story and open presents and eat a boy-requested Christmas dinner of burritos and applesauce. We are all very excited.

This morning Lucas announced, "We are going to have TWO Christmases this year! First, we will have Christmas on January 8th, and then we'll have another Christmas on December 25th. That's pretty great." And then Finley exclaimed, "Maybe we'll even have THREE." And Sebastian chimed in with, "Maybe THREE!"

We probably won't have a third Christmas. But if Second Christmas goes well, then... well, never say never.
