My husband loves to heckle our kids on Christmas morning, taking an extra long time brushing his teeth and finding the camera. (He learned this behavior from his father during many a Christmas Past.) After a lot of fuss, he still makes them wait at the top of the stairs another few minutes to try their patience while he goes down and scouts the goods. They get so mad, which he finds hilarious. Me, on the otherhand, I like the smell of cinnamon rolls baking on Christmas morning and the sense of expectancy that creates, especially when my kids are knee deep in wrap and liable to forget all about the real world and the eating and sleeping that go along with it. It's kind of like tantrum insurance.
And while my kids are happily inhaling cream cheese frosting and gooey bread, I'm not out of tricks yet. I still have hot chocolate to warm up, made with just enough dark chocolate to perfectly complement the sweetness of the rolls. With my mug in one hand and a half eaten cinnamon roll in the other, this is my favorite christmas moment. -Sierra |
