Christmas in April


Since it’s spring, it’s an odd time for me to be writing about Christmas, but I was looking through some old family photos that reminded me of this, so I figured I’d blog about it.

As you may have gathered from my previous posts, there are very few things that will spark Eric’s interest.  Other than the computer, movies, books, and other technological devices Eric really doesn’t pay attention to a lot of things. This becomes more and more apparent every Christmas morning.

Eric walks into the living room and sees a mountain of presents under the tree with his name on them. He seems excited at first, but then he goes about his regular routine. My parents will usually have to prompt him to start opening his presents or they will remain untouched until the next year.

Anyway, Eric will be opening his presents and as soon as he opens a book, movie, etc., that he likes, he takes it into his room or downstairs leaving the rest of his presents behind.

It really fascinates me how one thing can capture his undivided attention for so long, while there are about fifteen unopened presents waiting for him. God knows I don’t waste any time tearing open every single present I get for Christmas.
