My son Andrew has a medical condition labeled ADHD. The H part of ADHD is one that drives many parents, including Karen and I, nuts and causes lots of anguish and distress. The H in ADHD causes my son to grab, pinch, stand up, jump around, shout out, become easily frustrated, be annoying, etc. Controlling the condition with just the right dose of medication is tricky. Too much and he becomes too lathargic and too little and he gets into trouble at school.

The sounds of Christmas begin to fill our ears and hearts with memories of joy beginning Thanksgiving Day with the "Maci's Christmas Parade" giving us our first sounds of Jingle Bells as Santa Claus is pulled down the road in his Christmas Sleigh. We begin thinking of decorating and purchasing gifts and often dread that "Black Friday" because we go shopping for our Christmas gifts in hopes of big deals from the retailers. I tend to relax on that Friday and don't go out in the masses to try to get that deal because I just don't like fighting for items like that. Instead I prefer to sit back, relax and listen to the sounds of Christmas with radio stations, CDs and even an old vynil records that I have laying around.

These sounds bring back pleasant memories of Holidays past. My siblings and I would sing songs and dance to the music as we got ready for Christmas and made out our wish lists. We began dreaming of that big day when Santa would arrive as we listened to the music being played. Now my children enjoy these sounds and make their wishes know.

Leave a comment and tell me your favorite Christmas Jingle. Mine is "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas."
