Anyone else really miss being a kid around Xmas? |
|
I do. It's when I'm most homesick too. I miss the wonder of it all. And how all the songs and stuff you love now were even better then because it was the first time you'd heard them.

Seeing the holiday through my own children's eyes gives me a little taste of what it was like for me, and makes my memories a little sharper.
I'm most homesick this time of year also. We have big, noisy family gatherings and I love them.

It's Gloria Estefan's "Christmas Through Your Eyes." It always makes me choke up when I listen to it.
Till I had you I didn’t know That I was missing out Had to grow up and see the world Through different shades of doubt Give me one more chance to dream again One more chance to feel again Through your young heart If only for one day let me try
I wanna see christmas through your eyes I want everything to be the way it used to be Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine I wanna see christmas, christmas through your eyes
I see the rain, you see the rainbow hiding in the clouds Never afraid to let your love show Won’t you show me how Wanna learn how to believe again Find the innocence in me again Through your young heart Help me find a way, help me try
I wanna see christmas through your eyes I want everything to be the way it used to be Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind I wanna see christmas, christmas through your eyes
I wanna see christmas through your eyes I want everything to be the way it used to be Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind I wanna see christmas, christmas through your eyes
I wanna see christmas I wanna see christmas, I wanna see christmas through your eyes I wanna see, I wanna see christmas I wanna see, I wanna see christmas I wanna see christmas through your eyes I wanna see christmas I want to see christmas I wanna see christmas through your eyes

3. I felt that for a while in my teens and twenties. |

But the older I get the less nostalgic I feel. Now I pretty much enjoy them for what they are.
Less magical, I suppose, but that's fine! I really like the holidays now. I can make them what I want them to be, and can make them magical for my kids and nieces.
Now I make a gingerbread house every year, because I never had one when I was a kid. :)

It wasn't a very happy time for me. Now that I have a wife and kitty, this is a good time. I'm watching her decorate the tree right now, while the kitty looks at the xmas lights, mezmorized. We've got the fireplace going, and "Trailer Park Boys Xmas Special" is coming on in a couple of hours.
For a loner like me to be in a scene like this is shocking enough, but I'm bvery, very happy right now.

Christmas is for kids, and since I don't have any of my own when I have time to think about the past and the special times, it makes me sad. But at least I have the memories.
