Children Do Christmas Best

Most of my life I have not wanted to have children. In fact, children annoyed me. Then, sometime in the last year, my womb started to wake up and my perceptions began to change. I started noticing babies and their fat little arms (CHEW!) and, for the first time, fantasized about having the kind of partnership that involved a child. Last year, I even found myself walking into Babies R Us for no aparant reason. It was shocking. I sat down amongst an aisle of humidifiers and wondered what had come over me.

Christmas time makes my womb come alive even more. Can you blame me when I am sent these two videos in the same day?!


First, my niece Emma sining in her new school choir. Her head is the one right above the teacher's...



This is Jonas, the son of a friend of Leanne's, singing Rudolph...adorable...


I mean, COME ON. Even someone like me is going to won over totally and completely by that. Geeeeez. Christmas is for children ad for inner-children. And in this moment, I can't wait to have a baby.

Give me a few days next week with Alex and Emma jacked up on Christmas candy sugar and I am sure I will eat my words.
