Undoubtedly, during the recent holidays many of you enjoyed the company of youngsters, including toddlers who love to roam amid the discarded paper and boxes stopping only to pick up something they were not supposed to have or to momentarily sit in a box in which their gifts were once wrapped. Upon opening each toy, pre-schoolers promptly want to play with the item and will immediately find that one person in the room who has a scissors (or something comparable) to detach toys from the packaging. And, watching little ones delight in all the excitement and surprises under the tree is truly one of the best parts of Christmas.
Recently, I found the following quote that describes that sentiment and speaks to living in the moment while enjoying the mess created by little hands opening gifts, playing with each new toy and moving about the 'trash' strewn throughout the room:
"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."
