I don't wana grow up.....

I personally think we should NEVER have to grow up. I'm a big kid when it comes to simple things in life. If I could go back in time, it'd be to when I was 4 or 5 yrs old....when all we did was color, cut & paste to our heart's content. When Saturday mornings meant cereal and cartoons...and when we couldn't sleep on Christmas Eve because we were too busy listening out for Santa's reindeer. All the kids in my family are now old enough (college, high school and middle school) to believe in Santa--like its not cool or something. I still choose to believe though...even if some people think its silly. Tomorrow night, on Christmas Eve, I will still be listening out for reindeer on my rooftop!! :)

I love Christmas spirit. My mom makes our favorite dish. my sister does all the decorations but no real christmas tree is used at our home .Just a small artificial one which my sister decorates. In evening we all sit together , happily chat, i make ginger tea which is quite fav with us.We share jokes, no tv allowed to interfere. Yes we do listen to our fave songs but not no carols just gazals or other slow , soothing music. We eat at around 9:30.Mind you i am not christian , i am hindu so i don't know exactly how to celebrate but we love christmas spirit so we do our own family celebration. These type of time becomes a very happy memory later

Why not do it? I'm sure your daughter would have a blast... As for me, at times I would wanna go back to my childhood days..days where you can just be happy and not think about problems and stuff. *sighs*

why just worry about it at christmas.if you are excited about anything anytime then do it.no person should ever feel bound by the expeted behaviour they are made to be broken.one word off caution though if your going to do it then dont moan at the children doing it when excited

That is so funny. Just before my kids went to bed tonight, we did just that. I told them that Santa comes tomorrow night, then we all held hands and jumped up and down. My poor husband thought that the boys were in a knock-down drag-out fight because of the noise we made. It really felt great to act like a child for a moment.

What an absolutely wonderful discussion! I have always been pretty open and accepting of my inner child so when I feel like joining in on the excitement my son exhibits I do it! You should see us at Halloween, we always dress up as the same thing and we argue over what we're gonna be...it's just really fun. At Christmas it's the same thing, I let myself remember what Christmas was like for me as a child and I join in. I agree with the other responders - if you'd let yourself join in the excitement your daughter would love you for it. Just because your an adult doesn't mean that you can't get excited and let those Christmassy emotions carry you away! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

when i was a child i want to be an adult. it was just i saw my neighboirs who is adult which can express their thoughts. i thoughts being an adult person is u can do watever u want to do. but as i grow my impression in adult life is not very easy. it was just theres a lot of responsibilities and limitations in everything u do. well right now i want to be a child but it cannot turn back those years when i was a child so why i should be upset i must grow and face the reality that i am now an adult and i must grab this as an opportunity to help those people around me.

Nothing is stopping you from jumping up and down with her.. I did with mine! they loved it! lol! I still get excited when I hear the ice cream truck go by on a summer day... and when I find a Easter egg that I hid and forgot! lol! and *looking around* I still have my own crayons and playdoh (my kids are teenagers now, so they won't bother my toys!lol!) Don't ever grow up.... it's over rated! and a lot less fun! please excuse me, my favorite cartoon is on!!!! gotta go!!!!

First of all, great question, looks like a good plot for a movie, honestly. Second, if your personality goes along with your thoughts and the action does not hurt anyone then why would it be bad? Hurt in any sense, of course, that includes yourself XD If its like a game for you, then play it! But remember to add anyone in!

I might have done that still if I havent chnaged my views about santa yet. But I do jump up and down when I was young thinking that I might grow tall because that was my grand parents told me. hahahaha. some kind of superstitious belief. And there were times that I do miss being a child and somehow wish that I not have grow up. What I enjoyed doing even now is watching cartoons. I dont know I just cant help myself but watch it with some kids. I find it wierd but enjoying and relaxing.

You can jump up and down and be excited.Everyone can do it,even you grow up
