Christmas gifts

Christmas ..... what to say about Christmas. The best gifts mom and I ever got from you two were the hand made ornaments. The photo frames and tin nutcrackers we put on the tree. These things I knew you made with your hands at school mean so much to me and mom. Its a snapshot of you at Christmas. Everything else is just stuff you bought. Not that I don't appreciate it but its the things you put your hand on are the best!

   I always loved getting up and turing on the coffee and watching your faces as you opened your gifts.  It did not matter how tired I was or how early it is but your faces were what kept be going.  The noise didn't matter the cleaning of wrapping paper didn't matter. All that mattered was your smiles and that you were happy.

     We didn't have much but we always made sure you had a little here and there. Something small but nice to open.   You don't have to go over the top and give crazy toys. Give your kids love and your time. These are things that matter. I wish I wish I could have more time to spend with you too, but you have to work when you can.   Sit and play with your kids, Lego's, cards, checkers, chess and just watch TV together. Its nice for both of you....... I'll remember my time with you 1000 longer than what toy I gave you. I hope you remember this as well ..

Merry Christmas and please remember that I love you both.

 

With Love,

Dad.
