I know I always wish that Christmas lasted forever, but why doesn't it actually happen?

Because if Christmas lasted forever, it would no longer be special.

It would end up feeling just like a normal day, but with a lot of extra steps and it would cost a lot more money.

Buying and wrapping presents every day.

Buying and cooking everything for Christmas every day.

Making sure to keep up the decorations every day.

How would you know?

Because I have spent many years, planning, shopping, cooking, washing dishes, present buying, present wrapping, decorating, bed making and a thousand other things to keep Christmas special.

I can mange that over a 2 week period, but not for every day of the year.

So, you're saying that you want Christmas to stay for only just 2 weeks?

I feel ya! It's not that I'd want Christmas day itself to last forever, but if I could do half of the year Halloween and half Christmas time I would. I loooove the time leading up to Christmas! I used to try and stop myself from celebrating too "early" because I was afraid of not making it special. But I've started testing my limits and still haven't found one!

Wait. You're actually on board with this?
