The End of the Year Holidays

Well, my sweet baby girl, I know that sometimes our extended family on your Granny's side can make holidays not as much fun. It saddens me to see the predjudices of their stares and actions towards you and your brother. It will not always be that way. Your cousins love you both and I suspect you already know that. Things will change one day. Just remember that.

It thrills me to no end to see the lights twinkle in your eyes when I mention Santa. You are actually excited to get so sit on his lap and tell him that you want Barbies for Christmas this year. I will do everything in my power to make Christmas magical. I also promise that when you and your brother grow up, get married, and have your own kids that your father and I will make it magical for them as well.
My hope for you is that you always get at least one or two things that you really want each Christmas. I did not always get such. My parents were in a world of their own and didn't know our wishes at all. When we did tell them they promptly forgot. I do not say this to make them look bad or to instill bad idiologies of them in your psychee but, just to say that Pa and Granny were not happy together and it was all consuming of their thoughts and time. I will not let this happen with the two of you. And I hope that by doing so you will do the same with your kids. Christmas is, after all, a time for hopes and dreams to come true.
I love you, sweet baby, I love you so much. You and your brother have changed my life.
