It’s another installment of what will hopefully be many monthly letters written to my son. It’s a part of a memory-keeping attempt to capture these glimpses into the everyday and the not so ordinary moments that pass by so quickly as children grow. This is an ongoing series.

Dear sweetheart,

The holidays are magic, there’s no doubt about that. And this year, they seem to be doubly – maybe triply – so. You are starting to get it so much more than you did last year. You’ve been wishing extra hard for Santa to visit and to bring you a “garage toy;” you get all bouncy-excited when you think about Christmas coming. Getting and putting up our tree was way more fun for you this year – you’ve picked all sorts of favorite ornaments, the little horn, a small wooden airplane, and every bell we’ve got. It’s going to be a fun rest of the week for us all. We get to rediscover the very best parts of the holiday season through your eyes and your excitement. It’s really such a treat.

So, so much,
Mama
