I Wish Every Day Could be Like Christmas

T-man did not really enjoy my Christmas music this season, but this week we did sing “I wish every day could be like Christmas” together and he told me liked that Christmas song. I told Marshall that I think Christmas Eve is actually more special as it is anticipation of the magic and no risk of disappointment that sometimes comes on Christmas morning when the “big gift” isn’t what the kids were hoping (it gets harder and harder every year to meet expectations). However, it was a great day and I hope the kids realize how fortunate we truly are and remember the Christmas experience more than the gifts.

Around 5:00, we hit the road to Nebraska after packing and cleaning up. We didn’t think weather would be a factor, but it changed RIGHT as we crossed the Nebraska border. It continued to not be great basically until we got to our destination (thanks to Marshall for driving). According to D-man, NOW we have a white Christmas. And on a Monday night exactly six years ago, we made this same trip and stayed at the same hotel. And like six years ago, finding Christmas dinner is hard in small town Nebraska. :)
