He Made Me Laugh

1 Oct
He made me laugh. 
That second born son. 
The one who shoulders the weight. 
The future. 
He made me laugh. 
He loves Christmas.

Always has. 
Little sleep. 
So excited. 
A bundle of joy. 
Energy. 
Complying with my request, for a cup of coffee, before presents, on Christmas morning;
 he will have one waiting. . . long before it is time to be awake. 
Energy. 
Sheer joy. 
Over presents.
Over a babe in a manger.
Wonder. 
Contagious. 
And at 15 that joy is still there. 
I walk into the dining room after my shower. . . and I can hear it. 
And deep down I can feel the joy. 
He has turned on the Christmas music. 
Not just any Christmas music. 
Gene Autrey. . .Brenda Lee. 
Nana’s favorite kind. 
The songs stir within a plethora of emotions.

Too early you say? 
Is it? 
Is it too early to rejoice in a gift given?
To find joy amid deep pain.
To take the mundane and turn it around?
I don’t think so. 
And when that man/boy plays the Christmas music.
I know deep within there is still a boy.
There is still the pure delight in the age old magic of that starlit night;
when the holy touched the earth.

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
