Christmas Day

"One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.”

- Andy Rooney

With all the anticipation for Christmas, the day always goes by too quickly for me. I make a conscience effort to put the camera down to enjoy watching everyone open their gifts, and enjoy all the moments that make up the day. I want to remember every moment, every smile and every bit of laughter.

Those moments, smiles and laughter, and a big pile of torn wrapping paper, are what I remember when I think of Christmas Day.
