Hurry up Santa!

Early Holiday


We had a family get together the other evening. It was calm and bright! I have a little (almost 2) nephew.
His eyes were all a glow. It was a Toy Story Christmas from us, PJ'S and a radar shooting disk gun(sorry C.) It was so much fun to see him laugh as he pulled the trigger and almost shot an eye out! No, really though his eyes were wide, bright and full of new things to see, hear and experience.

I look at my own kiddos, now in Middle High and (Senior) ready to leave the comforts of undergrad lower education to embark on higher education next year. The eyes are still full of wonder, just maybe a little closer to Santa and a his way of knowing exactly what they are wanting or hoping for each year.

No matter what the age though, there seems to be a glimmer in the eye or a pep in the step around this time of year. I wish to be a little more like the newbie and keep a unscathed and fresh attitude in the coming year, just a short few days away.

Heres to getting what you wished for too!

What ever that may be.


Now pardon me, while I get back to the wrapping, fluffing and those last minute runs you just know that you will go and do!





I love this image from Rodney Smith.

The book is now available, The End.

I loved this post and your description of that magical sparkle and twinkle in everyone's eyes at Xmas. It's my favourite thing - the anticipation and wonderful energy that come with it.

Rodnay Smith is one of my all time fave photographers, and I love this picture. Haven't seen it before so thank you for sharing! Have you seen his latest book 'The End' - a fabulous investment. Such a brilliant masterpiece!

Have a beautiful Christmas and New Year my friend and thank you for all your comments in 2010!
Loving that we have met and look forward to more sharing in the new year.
