Jack Frost nipping at your flippers. This is the opening lyrics to the beloved Christmas Song. Perhaps, I have taken a few liberties with the words, but it is a song that everyone, humans and frogs alike, love this time of year. It envokes memories of bygone days; a time when joy was found in life's simple pleasures, like roasting chestnuts (or bugs) and singing Christmas songs. This is a very special time to spend with family and friends; partaking of all the wonderful sights and sounds of the season.
This evening, it's traditional for the Wart family to decorate our tree. We have loads of beautiful ornaments, many were made by my little brother, Quigley, and me when I was his age. And we like tons and tons of bright and colorful lights! We'll ribbit our favorite Christmas carols and, yes, we'll roast fat bugs on an open fire. My parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins will all be there to help us bring in the official start of our Christmas holiday. Enjoying hearth and home is one of my favorite things to do this time of year. The cost is little, and the pleasures are great. These are the memories that little Quigley, Jr. and I will remember always.
As Christmas comes barrelling towards us, I hope you'll take time this weekend to slow down and enjoy a few of the simple joys that Christmas brings. The holidays only come once a year...be sure to make the most of them. Next December is a long way off!
