When I drive I have the radio on a Christmas station, love to hear those songs.
Happily enough, Gabby watches cartoons with Christmas themes too!!
But as always there is something I'm missing to feel like "everyone else"
You see, Most families stress about the holidays because their kids have a looooong list of presents to ask Santa. and you have to find the right outfit for the Christmas pictures so we can get the cards ready to send to all our friends and family...
In my case, there is no outfit, because she doesn't like any of the Stiff clothes for the season, and I don't blame her, neither do I. I used to dress up for the holidays, get my hair done, my make up and nails done. Not any more. I like to dress nice but comfortable because She will come kiss me and I love that she is comfortable doing it too.
We dont send the Christmas cards with a picture, because Gabby wont pose for a picture.. or at least we haven't been able to get a picture where she is not holding her ipad, or not using her headphones,
or just look up to the camera and smile.
but beyond those things... I think the one thing I miss the most is that Long list of presents. I have nothing in my list. Gabby never asks for anything. She is that simple and easy in theory.
As I walk around stores, I see those gorgeous dolls, with the pretty dresses and accessories, I see the books, and the art supplies, and I see the many toys on displays.
Gabby hasnt ask for anything.
I know that I have to be really creative to find presents for her every year, but I wish I can give her something she really wants like other kids ask their parents.
I wish I can find the one thing she might like and hold for more than 5 minutes. and will bring a smile to her face.
People say careful what you wish for,... but I wish the best for her. everyday.
