Mom is in the kitchen preparing a nice dinner. The whole house is dark-lit. A lot of candles are burning. Mom put on some old christmas cassettes/tapes.
We are listening to old recordings and whenever there is a bump or silence or a crackling mom yells "Niiiiiiic, you played with it again".
But then something happened that brought the whole house to silence...
in the middle of a song the recording stops and you hear a little baby boy play his tiny keyboards by just pressing one key at a time... there is no real melody... just rhythmic noise... then he starts to humm along and sing "la la la la"... it's me at the age of 4 I think... and then
we hear dad in the background yelling... "enoooough, nicky, sleep already".. then you hear nothing.
I think this is the magic of christmas.

Yes- it is :-)
I can't pull out my tapes of my old family christmases. I did last year, and even though it was kind of wonderful to experience the nostalgia, I couldn't really handle it, because I miss my dad quite a bit.
Thanks- this put a smile on my face :-)
