Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

So many people try to grow up too fast, and it's not fun! You should stay a kid as long as possible!

My parents still treat Christmas like I'm thirteen years old.

I'm sure most of us remember being a kid and you have all of this endless time where two weeks before Christmas feels like ten years. I used to go to bed to try and go to sleep to try and make it go faster.

On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.

I think I'm a big kid at heart, so I get very excited around the holidays.

You have to remind kids to stay connected to the meaning of Christmas. Sometimes it takes a little bit of effort, but it's so worth it.

From a personal standpoint, I'd say that, yeah, seeing how quickly children grow, you realize how fast life goes by.

The kids growing up is a separate strand to your life. However bad a day you've had, that's the most important thing, and you have to remember that.

I have an almost seven year old... I think it's essential to be consistent with kids. And truthful, without scaring them. I could go on for hours on this one.
