"Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional." - Walt Disney
This is one of the many quotes that I love by Walt Disney and I feel like of course it can contribute to every day life but falls perfectly for Christmas. The spirit of Christmas isn't just for children but for adults as well. Once we "grow up" we become part of the magic and creating what is the spirit of Christmas; so I wanted to walk down memory lane and talk about my favorite Christmas memories.
I'm not sure on the age ranges of course but I will try to include as many details as possible, and some of them aren't even about the presents but they are about family.
I'm sure this year you guys have all seen the ornaments that say Santa cam on them so that they kids can try and catch Santa in the act, coming down the chimney and putting the presents under the tree. I remember one year my dad told us that we should set up the actual camera in the living room where we had our tree would would hide it so that he wouldn't be able to catch us. The first year, we were so excited to wake up to all the toys that we had forgotten about the camera until my dad mentioned it. We all rushed to his side and checked the footage and of course Santa had covered the lens. We were so bummed out, but the excitement was real we started to plan how we were going to out think him for next year.
Christmas in Puerto Rico is probably my most favorite! We get to spend the most magical time of the year with all of our family and it just makes it all the more magical. The last time we spent Christmas in Puerto Rico we spent Christmas Even with our family all dressed up and ate and enjoyed each others company. We were sitting outside when across the street we saw Santa. My little cousins were so excited and he was just suppose to be visiting the kids across the street, but he came over and talked to the kids and took pictures with them. It was such a heart warming experience, they were scared at first but still had fun.
What are some of your favorite Christmas Memories as a Child?
