Brasilians, obviously because it's an American holiday, don't do Thanksgiving so it gives us an excuse to jump into the Christmas season a lot sooner than we ever did in the states. We put up our tree today and put the lights in our yard.
Yesterday I heard Carys and Benay both singing (at different times) Christmas songs. Benay was singing one to Giovanni and Carys was singing in her room.
We are a big Christmas time family. We love every bit of it. The malls here go crazy every year with Christmas decorations. There are Christmas parades, concerts and shows. We love it. I don't think anyone in our family loves Christmas more than Carys. Go here if you want to catch a little of her personality last Christmas. Today she helped me do a lot of yard work to get everything ready to put up the lights. She then helped me put up almost every outside light....smiling the entire time. She LOVES Christmas.
Two days ago she and Benay made up Carys's Christmas "To Do List."
Just in case you wanted to know what Carys will be doing this holiday season you can check out the following list. Here you go:
If you had difficulty reading the light writing here is what she put down:
x-mas tree (popcorne)
decorate house
wrap presante
read Christmas stories
sing Christmas songs
make Christmas cookies
buy or make presente
go to mall to see santa
make a list
watche Christmas movies
paint Giovanni's stoking
go to Gramado (our favorite Christams town)
see Grandmommy (my mom will be coming for a visit in a couple of weeks)
There you go. She has a full month coming up. We'll keep everyone up to date on how many of these things she crosses off her list. If you know Carys, your best bet is that she'll do every one.
