This year we wanted to give Josh the full Christmas experience. Margaret thinks I'm generally a grinch around Christmas time but Josh enjoyed the tree and the lights so much that it was hard for me to not want him to fully enjoy it.
Josh helped to decorate the tree and then proceeded to take the ornaments on and off the tree. As a result we had a bit of a bald spot on the tree near the bottom (anywhere within Josh range). He really liked the tree, and liked seeing other trees when we were out. When we came downstairs in the morning he would get very upset if we forgot to turn on the "kis-mas tee". While driving at night Josh would say, "yights, yights" when he saw our outdoor lights and loved to look out the window to see the lights outside our house.
For Christmas we went over to my dads house and stayed the night. Last year Josh didn't fully appreciate presents but this year he is a pro taking off the wrapping paper and he now knows there is a fun toy inside the package. He loves his Santa pajamas and will tell you "I like Santa!", but isn't so sure how he feels about actual Santa. Daycare had a little holiday party complete with Santa, but Josh wanted no part of sitting on his lap or saying hi. On Christmas morning Margaret told him that Santa had brought toys for his stocking, and he started to cry :-P I guess we will have to wait until next year for him to really get into Santa.
We got to visit with a lot of family for the long Christmas weekend, and it was nice to see everyone. We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did too!

Pretty happy with what was in the stocking, even if he wasn't happy with Santa
Josh would not smile without "Blackie" being in the photo too
