Christmas: family tradition, educational weapon and love everywhere

Every family celebrates Christmas differently. And we need to have something like Christmas every month. As a weapon of education and because of the miraculous experiences with the children. (i really hope nobody missunderstood this words )

Recently a friend has posted on Facebook:

"Fuck Christmas, I'm glad it's over."
I can understand that. Some hate them, others love them. No other time of the year polarises people like Christmas.

Gingerbread in September, Last Christmas in October and November, the first stars sparkle over the street lamps of your city and make you realize - soon it will happen. Holiday roast, holiday wine and a lot of family time. This does not taste good for everyone - especially the lonely one.

In my family it was a long tradition that we get drunk on Christmas Eve and then shout nice things in the ears. My dad, for example, likes to say that I'm a worthless person, and then I like to reply that he can kiss my ass.

Since I have children, it has become much more relaxed. Now we get drunk on Christmas Eve, but do not fight anymore. Instead, we watch the children arguing: "Heya, this is my excavator." "I just want to play with it." "You can not do that." "You can kiss my ass."

The best means for good children

Glorious. You just need family to celebrate Christmas really nice. The children speak of nothing but the Santa Claus, Santa Claus, and the gifts they desire. And we parents get the best means of pressure for a short period of time to make children listen.

"If you do not brush your teeth right now, I'll tell Santa how naughty you are. Then there are only spinach and zucchini gifts this year. "

What do you think, how carefully my grandmother maintains her oral hygiene after such a sentence. Flossing is even used.

In such moments I wish for each month such a super education weapon. A hero or heroine who brings gifts to children at the end of the month if they were superbrave the day before. In January, it's the January Man, the Valentine's February in February, and in the summer, Ice Cream Woman comes along with her refrigerator car - whoop, whoop, two balls of Straciatella, please.

I love you little sock

Actually, with children anyway, the whole year is Christmas. A constant wonder, wonder and pause. Our little girl practiced almost daily the commandment of charity. She loves everything close to her - mom, dad, sister, doll Lilly and gummy bears.
"There you are, my red bear. I will eat you now. Because in my Belly you'll be fine. "

When she moves her sock and finds her again, she says, "My dear little sock, I missed you so much." Then she cuddles the sock and I'm warmly warm about my heart.

The big guy is a bit more relaxed, but no less empathetic. This year, she wanted to give Nicolas money, because she thought it would be pretty expensive to buy so many presents.

Delicious feast for Nicholas

I told her that she did not have to worry about that. "Santa has become quite rich with an IT start-up and can afford it. It's enough if we put biscuits and cocoa in front of him. "
The big girl said: "Okay, but no cookies. And no cocoa. As Santa looks, he prefers ham sandwich and light. "

That's exactly how it was done. And when the little ones slept, Daddys Mate came and fortified himself with bread and beer. Everything rested, everyone was asleep, I sat cross-legged in front of the boots, ate a piece, took a sip and then calmly prepared for the Christmas talks with my dad. Ommm, his words will float through my ear canal like delicate snowflakes through a silent winter's night. And when they are floated enough, it simply melts love away. Because it depends on everyone - Christmas, Christmas.

I wish you all a great XMAS time, loads of fun with your Kids and Families

Did I forget something? Can you think of any more points?
I´m looking forward to your experiences and additions.
