I was not so motivated last
month decorate the house. My mind was
somewhere else. Hmmm just work and my
family. Two weeks before Christmas, I
thought I just had to put on some red curtains.
I wanted so much to have the Christmas tree but we lost the pack inside
the stock room. So I thought I would
have it simple. I placed everything. And soon enough the day
before Christmas, I thought I just have to dive into the stock room and look
for that pack of decors. Lo and behold,
we found them.
So we started putting them
up. Our tall slender Christmas tree was
done. When little girl went out of the
room after her afternoon sleep, I was stunned at how her loud giggle filled the
entire house as she saw the Christmas tree standing tall. She came back and forth. Kept on looking at it with much excitement. And I was just so happy that I made such
simple effort of going into that dusty stock room that reaped such simple
happiness of my little girl this Christmas.
My husband already stopped me
from taking so much effort. He just
wanted me to rest in that afternoon. Yet
I told him that kids have a different taste of Christmas. I just want to do it for our daughter
MIkaela.
During family prayer, she kept
on going back to it. And I told her
after that, that I did it for her. And she listened so intently giving me that
cutest and most wonderful smile. Though
she did not wait and join us at Noche Buena, I know in my heart my little girl
carried that wonder and awe with that simple Christmas tree.
Oh what a simple joy …a simple
gift of a Christmas tree to my little girl Maria Mikaela this Christmas of
2013…her second Christmas with our familyJ
