My Christmas and a New year Dream

Like any mom or dad, I really want to see my children’s faces totally light up with happiness on Christmas morning. But money's been super tight this year making a huge holiday celebration pretty impossible. Still, seeing my kids so pumped for Santa coming gives me major holiday hope. I'm dreaming of somehow making a little Christmas magic to get them smiling wide anyway!

I know buying fancy gifts isn’t realistic right now. But what I wanna do most is take my babies out for an awesome day together making memories to last way longer than any new toy ever could! Maybe surprising them with a trip to that amusement park they’ve been begging me to visit with all the cool rides, games and yummy snacks. Or visiting a restaurant with one of those huge indoor playgrounds so they can just wild out sliding and climbing for hours while I watch them have a blast 'til they conk out.

Whether it’s rollercoasters or kiddie ball pits getting them giggling louder than jingle bells, seeing my children’s joy is the most precious present. Their goofy laughter helps me remember what this season is truly about – cherishing family above all. Though money's tight, I'm praying somehow for a chance to pack our day full of kid paradise fun times together.
