Things I have learnt about Christmas with a small person

1
They will get sick

You will get sick

They will get sick. Again.

Each morning, after opening their advent calendar window, they will ask to open ’one more’…. every single day.

They will somewhat miss the point of aforementioned advent calendar and ask if it is Christmas.. every single day.

They will be filled with total and utter wonder when they meet Father Christmas and you’ll be a tad over excited too (even though you’re pretty sure he is in fact an incredibly hungover 19 year old, you’re letting that detail slide..)

And even

when it’s meeting him for the tenth time in one month, which is pretty suss as surely he would be incredibly busy right now and not available for personal appearances, their excitement won’t damper for a second.

They’ll eat far too much chocolate, they may as well have it mainlined into their veins. You’ll contemplate missing the next dentist appointment to avoid looks of utter horror and epic parental guilt.

You’ll be in floods before they even walk out on stage for their Christmas concert. Your heart will explode a million times over. And

You’ll spend the entire month threatening any bad behaviour with no presents from Santa and secretly worrying what the hell you’re going to say come Jan 1st.  It’s a wholly short-sighted strategy.

You’ll spend too much. Way,way too much. Never ever start Christmas shopping in November.

You’ll sing Christmas songs from morning to night and somehow not want to stab yourself in the eye.

You’ll probably get sod all

sleep Christmas Eve. Not because he’ll be awake but because you cannot actually wait to see his little face light up in the morning.

Because seeing him believe in something so magical and lovely makes it truly the most wonderful time of the year.

Merry Christmas Everyone x
