Merry Christmas!

My baby's first Christmas.  How freakin' amazing is this?!

First off, I want to say that aside from all the commercial BS of this season, I truly believe in Christmas.  My spiritual roots in this holiday are kinda like stew. My background is Christian/Ojibwae.  I celebrate the birth of Jesus or in Ojibwae, Nanabush.  Yes, I know, The 25th of December is not the exact birthdate of Christ but blow me.  It is CELEBRATED that day.  I can choose to celebrate my birthday any day I want.

I believe in a season of giving thanks, giving to others, forgiving and being grateful and cherishing the creator's great gift of life and the earth.

This Christmas for me is particularly moving, as my son is the best gift the creator could ever give me. 

Okay cut the mushy shit.  Seriously folks.  We are going to need a separate domicile for the toys.  The army of toys Daxon currently commands has set up camp in about 10 zones within the parameters of the domicile.  I can't imagine another 35 toys thrown into the rotation.  He's only 9 months people! What the shit?!  At this stage, an empty box and some crackly celophane gift wrap is all he would need.  But NOOOOoooooo, Mumma and Dada are suckers with a capitol U and we of course have to buy the toys by the hundred. 

I am just looking forward to walking into his room, seeing is beautiful face smiling at me with such excitement to see me like he does everday - well - everyday he doesn't wake up and simply cry - but once I walk into the room he immediately starts to smile and giggle and stamp his little feet super fast.  Of course you know that is how he'll wake up Christmas morning.  I would then pick him up out of his crib, hug him tight, and bring him downstairs.  Before we do anything else, we'll help open all his presents which we have so pointlessly wrapped.  Well, not pointlessly I suppose since most of the fun comes in him tearing all the crackly paper and watching his eyes twitch.

I'm just so excited.  I think I just peed a bit.

Daxon would love you even more than he already does it you pack up some of those toys, put 'em in the attic and give them to him when he's too old to play with them... I know, sounds weird, but think about how much more valuable those toys will be in say 16 years? If ebay is still around, they'd be worth a mint!

Er, well, at least I'd have appreciated being saved from my own destructive tendencies.

Hope he enjoys his toys either way.
