I absolutely LOVE the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Christmas Canon and Christmas Canon Rock are my two favorites. I like rock a little bit more because that woman's voice is hauntingly beautiful and I get chills just thinking about it and am going to go listen to it right now!

I remember, in particular, my first Christmas in my first apartment and just staring at my Christmas tree all lit up in the dark. It was so beautiful and I felt like such an adult. :D I hate the one up-man-ship aspect of Christmas too. I love the giving (and yes, the receiving too) but I want it to be from the heart. Some of the best gifts I have received have cost very little but showed how much person knew me. Whereas I have also received very expensive gifts that meant little because they were show-off gifts that were meant to paint the giver in a glowing light and not for my sake. To be fair, I have been that person too but have learned to be better. Your gifts to give the world are spot on. Spot. On. And I think Christmas breakfast is an overlooked celebration!Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-8734141410922415162017-12-06T12:13:16.169-05:002017-12-06T12:13:16.169-05:00I loved this post!

We are trying really hard to keep the boys grounded in all of this and my biggest pet peeve is when people don't listen to our wishes and want to buy the boys the world. I know everyone means well but sometimes less is more. Christmas breakfast is one of my all time favorites!

I love when someone say Merry Christmas to me because I rarely hear it these days. I wish more people understood what kindness was. A simple kind gesture can make a world of difference to someone. You never know what someone is going through. Some of the happiest people in the world are the saddest and loneliest inside.

It has definitely gotten to a point where we forget the true meaning, and I want to make sure my daughter knows what it's really all about. I grew up with a good balance of the two and hope to give her the same.<br />Brandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650612252443297585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-28289408767172673202017-12-06T07:54:47.913-05:002017-12-06T07:54:47.913-05:00I share your sentiments on how Christmas has turne...I share your sentiments on how Christmas has turned to such a monetary event.
