My Very Own Kris Kringle!!!

It is no secret that I love the Christmas season, but this year my Christmas excitement has been taken to a whole new level.  This is all due to my little Henry Patrick.  Henry has become completely infatuated with Christmas.  He loves everything Christmas and Santa Claus, or as Henry calls him, Ho Ho.  :)  Henry will only wear Christmas pajamas to bed.  Needless to say, we have gone from 2 pairs of Christmas pajamas to almost 10 over the course of about a week.  This is mostly in thanks to PawPaw.  :)  This momma couldn’t keep up with the laundry with only 2 pairs of wearable pajamas.  ;)  Henry also only wants to wear his Christmas socks.  He has one pair of green striped socks and one pair of red striped socks.  Again, this makes it very hard to keep them clean with only 2 pairs.  He never wants to take these socks off so I have to wait until he goes to bed to take them off of his little feet so that I can put them in the washer.  Even though this laundry situation can be quite a hassle at times, I don’t mind because I love how much my little Henry loves Christmas.  Our house is decorated more than ever with Christmas decorations, and a lot of them are hung crooked or in weird places around the house because Henry loves to do the decorating.  He loves picking out the perfect place for the decorations and then moving them around about a hundred times.  J  I have come to terms with the fact that my house is not going to look perfectly decorated, and I am ok with that because I love watching my little boy get so excited to move the decorations around himself.  Henry even set up our Nativity in the living room all by himself, and of course his favorite piece of the nativity is baby Jesus who Henry calls “baby.”  Every night, Henry and Nick put up a piece on the Advent calendar that Grandma Deve made.  Henry waves to the inflatable Santa Claus that is out in the front of the subdivision every time we pass them, and then he says “more” so we drive around the neighborhood looking for more that he can wave to.  Henry and I are both working on convincing daddy that we need our own Santa Claus in the front yard.  We are hoping that one will magically appear one day before Christmas.  ;)  Henry only wants to watch Christmas movies when we are at home so you can only imagine how quickly our Christmas movie collection is growing.  Daddy hates watching the same movies over and over.  J  Henry has a giant stuffed Santa Claus that Daddy bought him and a Santa night light that he sleeps with in his room.  He loves playing with the Santa Claus apps on my phone.  He talks to Santa on one of the apps on my phone and tells him that he wants "toys" for Christmas and that he has been "nice" this year.  We also have our elf on a shelf who Henry named Buddy.  Like I said, I have my very own little Kris Kringle, and I am absolutely loving every minute of it.  I cannot wait to see my little boy’s face on Christmas morning!
