One of the things we noticed this Christmas is that our nephews and nieces are all grown-up! Whereas a few years ago, they were little kids who would shriek at every toy they opened on Christmas eve, they're now young adults who are responsible and blazing their own trails in the world.
And since they're all grown-up, I'm sure their view of Christmas has changed, too. Maybe, like me, they now think less of gifts and more of memories, just like this classic Christmas song for grown-ups.
It may seem "motherhood statement-y", but at this juncture of my life, these are the things that I really do want for Christmas.
And in the immortal words of Gracie Lou Freebush in "Miss Congeniality":
"I really do want World Peace."
