We are very excited that it’s Christmas Eve and are looking forward to a wonderful Holiday Season.  We wish you all the best this Holiday Season and may your New Year be wonderful as well!!

Cheers!!!

One of my favorite things about the holidays, besides the celebration of family and friends and tradition, is the opportunity to dress up the kids in special clothes.

When I was a child, we dressed up for church every week, for special days like birthdays, and then for the holidays. Today society is more casual and most people do not dress up much for most occasions.

But I enjoy making the holidays even more special by dressing up a little. And the kids do, too. They realize it’s a special occasion when they they get to wear their “dressy” clothes and for the most part, like looking good. This is especially true for little girls, who get to look like little princesses in beautiful dresses.

It’s nice to look good and remember the specialness of the holidays, and don’t forget there will be lots of pictures, too!

My 5-year old and 2-year old love super heroes. They like to play like they are super heroes. They like to dress up like super heroes. They like to wear their super hero shirts.

But there is an on-going debate in my house over who is the coolest super hero. My 5-year old prefers Spiderman. He has had a Spiderman birthday; he has Spiderman bedding; he has several Spiderman character shirts. On the other had, my 2-year old leans towards Batman. He has a Batman trike; he plays like he is Batman every day, wearing his Batman costume; he even has the cutest Batman pajamas, complete with a little cape!

And I don’t mind at all that they have this little debate going on. The truth is that Super Heroes are cool, even to adults. (Hey, The Dark Knight and Iron Man weren’t made for kids!) And they teach good morals to kids. So when my boys want super hero clothes like a cool super hero t-shirt, I don’t mind forking out a few bucks to an idea so classically American, full of good ‘ol American morals, and that’s just plain fun!
