a cool yule atcha'

are we going to lie to our boy
and tell him there is a santa?
asked my husband.

of course we are.
i answered, rolling my eyes, not believing he would even hesitate.
i mean, c'mon. isn't this one of the reasons to have a child?

the tree is trimmed and
santa has visited.
stockings are stuffed.
lists are made for the morning
so we don't forget to take what we need
for the trek to visit family near and far.

babychop is asleep.
unaware of the goodies that he will discover in the morning.
snuggled under our fuzzy blanket
he has no idea that tomorrow is going to be about
love and family and tradition and food and more love.

i hope you are all full of love this winter.
i hope your hearts are full of peace and empty of fear.

merry christmas.
happy hannukah.
joy-filled kwanzaa.
warm and bright solstice.
