The Beginning

I am Maggie, founder and President of Christmas Night Inc. This blog will tell the story of Christmas Night Inc. but more importantly will share my passion for Christmas, where my passion began and where it is heading now. 

Christmas was a big deal in my family. My brothers and I would put out our stockings on Christmas Eve, listen for the jingle of Santa’s sleigh bells as we fell asleep. Wake up early and rush downstairs to see if Santa had eaten his cookies and left us the gifts we wanted.

There was church with Dad while Mother cooked the turkey. We were not allowed to open the presents from under the tree until the turkey dinner was complete. Dad would announce the presents while we tore off the wrapping paper. At the end of Christmas Day I would take all my presents up to my bedroom and marvel over them.

As I grew older I would go out into the forest with my Mom and choose a small tree for my room, which I would decorate with cast off decorations my Mom gave me. 

This was where it started but eventually it grew into a business for me.

Tune in again next week to find out how my Christmas passion turned into Christmas Night Inc.
