I remember one of the first days of December Samuel looked out our picture window in front of the house and said "Halloween, Halloween" after he saw our neighbors house with their Christmas lights on. I know he didn't quite understand at first that it was time for a new holiday but eventually I think he got it. He loved to go look at Christmas lights, which he called "Santa Trees."
He could say Christmas lights but he always called them Santa Trees. I think we went looking at lights at least 20 times between Dec. 1st and Dec. 30th. He would always say "More, More" even before we were done with one street. He recognized Baby Jesus and Frosty the Snowman and would say "Coooolll." We enjoyed that time spent with him. Unfortunately, as the month ended and everyone started taking down their Christmas decorations Samuel didn't understand why there weren't any more Santa Trees. Poor guy! I think he's finally stopped asking for them when we are out at night..and it's January 10th!!
He did pretty well about not ripping all the ornaments off the tree but he seemed to be infatuated with throwing stuff at the tree. Actually, he's infatuated with throwing anything and everything at everyone and everything. It has really tried our patience and sometimes patience did not win.
It was definitely a Christmas to remember and although it may just be us that keeps these memories, I know that Samuel had a wonderful time enjoying the splendor of the season.
