What a Merry Christmas we had! Normally, the Wagner house is up around 6 AM, but this year we decided to do things quite a bit differently. Brother Bryan was very disappointed in us. We didn't get to the present opening until nearly 10:00 which is absolutely unheard of!
However, this year did bring it's challenges.
I woke up Christmas morning with an awful toothache! I took ibuprofen, but it just wasn't enough.
So, I ended up on something a little stronger that caused me to be the entertainment of the morning... Luckily, I got used to the medication and I wasn't crazy for the concert that night!
This year, Michael & I did something I never thought I would do.
We sang a song just the 2 of us. W H A T ? Me? Singing a solo? I don't know what got into me, but we had so much fun preparing it, how could I not? We decided to sing a classic,
I S A W M A M M A K I S S I N G S A N T A C L A U S !
We sang the 1st verse as normal but then decided it would be fun to add on to it. Our addition went a little something like this:
"I saw Daddy tackle Santa Claus, underneath the mistletoe last night.
He didn't see him creep, down the stairs to have a peek.
He thought that Pops was tucked up in his bedroom fast asleep.
I saw Mommy wave to Santa Claus, as he left our house that snowy night!
Oh, what a laugh it truly was, & I'm laughing just because.
Momma got caught kissing Santa Claus!"
I don't know about you, but I think it should be added to the official lyrics.
Now comes my most favorite memory of the evening. After everyone left, we all sat around talking for a while, which then for no reason in particular turned into a giant 80's dance party!
I mean how many families end their Christmas dancing! Everyone in the family joined in & it was a Christmas event I won't soon forget.
Each Holiday being married stretches my comfort zone far more than I ever thought possible. Although in the moment I am stressed, nervous, & a little sick, each memory helps be become a little bit better.
Merry Christmas!
