It's Christmas Eve-Eve! This is one of my favourite days of the year. Partly because it is so close to Christmas and partly because I love to spend this day doing special holiday things at home. Like baking cookies, movie marathons, and time spent with my husband. There is always so much magic in the air on this day. It's like the excitement and joy is practically bursting out of every room. There are twinkling lights, colourful decorations, and the smell of freshly baked cookies lingering in the air. Bliss! Are you ready for a little more holiday cheer? Here is day ten of the Christmas advent on the creation of beauty is art.
Who Makes Your Christmas Day Extra Special?
An awful lot of loved ones contribute to a special Christmas celebration. My husband and my family all go above and beyond! However, there is one that stands out: my mom. Growing up, her family didn't celebrate Christmas (or any holidays) and so, she did everything she could to make sure that my siblings and I experienced lots and lots of holiday magic. I have so many memories of my mom making Christmas extra special. Not just Christmas Day, but the entire Christmas season. Coming up with fun craft ideas when I was a kid, taking us to see Santa Claus each and every year, and making sure all of our holiday wishes came true. Even though I'm an adult now...she still goes out of her way to make Christmas special. Recording holiday baking shows for us to watch together when I visit, searching for new cookie recipes to try, or surprising me with a beauty advent calendar. There are so many things that my mom does to make the season bright. I am and will always be grateful for all of her thoughtfulness and love. It makes this time of year even more memorable.
What about you? Who makes your Christmas Day extra special?
