Well here we are, folks. We have arrived at another Christmas. Celebrations have already ensued all over the world. Some places because it is Christmas already, some because they can. Like my house. It's a "because we can" type of situation. Our tradition goes something like this: Christmas Eve we open all gifts; Christmas morning Santa brings one unwrapped gift for each person and fills their stocking with goodies. Hooray for old traditions! Will I continue this with my kids? Not sure. I guess that all depends on what my wife wants to do. I'm willing to be flexible.
So what did this gift-unwrapping unveil? Many good gifts. As I type my computer is downloading some software that I have been wanting for a long time and has been given to me by my parents. It's taking a long time but it's worth it. I also got The Dark Knight on DVD, a really nice edition of Yahtzee, some money for a digital camera I've been wanting, some much needed undershirts, and a car phone charger. All of it great stuff.
Now I wait for the morning, anticipating what I'll get. I don't like to guess so I'm not going to. For some reason if I'm right it can take some of the joy out of getting the gift. If I'm wrong then it also has the potential to take joy out of it for me since I run the risk of being disappointed. So I'll wait patiently, get some sleep, the usual.
So today I will not end with a quote, but just very simply say:
Merry Christmas!
Until next time....
