Christmas is around the corner

I am an avid Christmas Lover and I can't wait for it every year. As a child I had wonderful Christmas times  and all very memorable. I remember waking up and sitting in my dads lap in front of the fire waiting for everyone else to get up so we could all unwrap our gifts and play with what we got. My parents were a big presence in our lives while we were growing up and they made sure Christmas was special even when we didn't have much money. I miss times like that and wish things were that simple today.
