Well, the magic of this season is finally upon us. If Wilson had it his way, we would have gotten our tree on Halloween. With some carefully crafted social stories, a countdown calendar, and a felt tree to decorate in the meantime (from a very thoughtful friend), we were able to hold him over until now.

This boy brings the JOY, let me tell you. He has seen Santa three times already (something that used to be such a tough production for us all) and he just walks right up and says, “Merry Christmas, Santa!”

He and his sister decorated our tree, and he continues to adjust and rearrange ornaments daily. I found him sitting by the tree, “reading” a Christmas themed book the other night. He just FEELS this season so deeply, it’s hard to explain. I really can’t tell you what it feels like to see him so HAPPY.

If you see him in the next few weeks, he will likely serenade you with a few rounds of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”.  I just love watching him spread so much love and joy and cheer this time of year. It really is contagious. Watch a sweet video below of Wilson getting into the Christmas spirit!
