One of the great things about the Christmas season is the prep work. In our home, it usually starts the day after Thanksgiving, and sometimes that night. It first starts with the lights that are strung on the outside of the house. Shannon does an exceptional job hanging them. Then it migrates to pulling out all the plastic totes filled with the previous years decorations. The childlike excitement and wonder begins to fill our hearts. Max gets excited about what is in all the boxes. While going through boxes we find that one exciting object! It's his beloved jingles. It's a cute red and white collar that has bells on it. The excitement! He perks up and is so excited to wear it . When we go to the local Christmas tree farm to cut down our tree, we take Max with us. It's pure joy to see him so excited to wear and show off his jingles.
He also tends to leave his mark on the little trees for future holidays. He he!
