..one of the best things ever, to have your children around you on Christmas day..that would be obvious and go without saying but to see them and hear them laughing and joking and teasing and know how much they like each other as people, how much they enjoy each other and how great they are together..we don't have to like our families, we don't have to get along with them, that's not something that does go without saying...they say that when your children grow up then the magic of Christmas goes but it doesn't, it just changes to something different..the magic is there, as beautiful as ever in their laughter and smiles and how much they love each other...
