Wonderful Christmas Chaos!

Christmas expectations and Christmas realities are two completely different things in our home.

Christmas expectations are calm and orderly.  They go off without a hitch and are picture perfect.

Christmas realities are busy and messy and very loud.  They drown out Christmas music and leave the living room in total chaos.

Christmas Expectation….

It’s the picture I posted to Facebook today wishing all our friends and family a Merry Christmas.  So cute with the little matching pj’s, on such well behaved children.  What I should have posted was the picture right before I managed to get them to stay still and smile for 5 seconds.

The way I wish our living room stayed throughout the morning but really only lasted for a few minutes.

But for some, Christmas Expectations…

    Your Christmas reality completely just made me cry. Christmas expectations can stay in the Martha Stewart magazine. Your reality is amazing! 🙂
