Christmas time is full of joy. I remember christmas when I was a boy.

Singing Jingle Bells as we decorated the tree. Mom and Dad shopping with brothers and me.

Christmas is the best time of the year. It's the time spent with family that I hold dear.

The night before christmas mom would say, "Bedtime boys tommorow's Christmas day." And as we dashed off to our rooms to go to bed, thousands of toys would run through my head.

We would lay there in the dark thinking what we would get. One wanted a bike, one wanted a trike, and I wanted a chemistry set.

We love to go to Grandma's and Grandpa's because they know how to spoil three little boys.

We always baked cookies and have hot chocolate and we get lots and lots of toys.
I can't wait for christmas this year. Because it really, really is the best day of the year.
