a reading from the "book of plasma."

So the pertinent question of the day: "How many days until Christmas?" This is asked by my hazel eyed little man, who is of the ripe old age of seven. He is the absolute incarnate of Christmas wonder, his countdown begins in October and he waits with patience that would rival that of the saints in heaven above for December 1st. Why December 1st? Ahhh, well this is when he begins his own official countdown to what he considers the best holiday on the planet. Now my little man has two older siblings, both in middle school, one teetering the belief of the man in the red suit and one teen age sibling who has not believed in santa since the 4th grade. Now I would much rather wrap things and place them under the tree rather than stuff packages in every single unused crevice that I can find. Yet, the absolute amazement that this little guy brings to the holidays is amazing. His resounding joy for the holiday fills the house with his multiple choruses of jingle bells, Rudolph, frosty, and the 12 days of Christmas, he can be heard in the upstairs bathroom belting out the holiday top twenty at the top of his little lungs, leaving the rest of the house in fits of hysterical laughter. (he prefers this room due to the echo effect that the large room provides) The addition of the traditional chocolate filled advent calendar has added some interesting moments. For those not familiar with the advent calendar, it's a cardboard calendar with 24 little doors, behind each door is a small treat, this is to "countdown the days until the holiday." The one we have at home has small chocolates and on the door are a small bible reading. So, my little man takes his turn reading from the book of Psalms. He concludes this by saying "this is from the book of plasma."

Frosty, Jingle Bells, Rudolph, cookies, chocolate, trees, candy canes and now readings from the book of plasma....ahhh another christmas memory....thank you little man.
