Christmas Excitement
Well, Christmas is pretty much like every other day for a set of 7-month old twins. They don't know the difference and, if you're as busy as a parent of 7-month old twins, you hardly can tell the difference either. The only way you know it's Christmas is the added pressure to be places with extra boxes and with kids who've hopefully had extra naps to help them stay up later to please the rest of the family.
Well, not entirely true, I guess. If you're the Dad of the twins, you know it's a different sort of day because you're stuck on Christmas Eve putting together the new exersaucer that comes in a hundred-million pieces. It takes you at least an hour and a couple of glasses of wine to get the thing to look right. And, when it does, you're so excited to see their faces when they sit in it, you ask your wife at least 4 times throughout the night if you can wake up the sleeping babies so they could try it out. Finally, at 6:00 am she relents. You joyfully bound out to the nursery, pick up the groggy, confused kidlets, and watch through the camera lens to see and record their reactions.
Yes, Virginia, there is excitement, and a Santa Claus, for adults at Christmastime as well!
