The night before the night before Christmas...

That was a tough title to work out, but you get the idea. It is a fun time for most as they rush out to finish last minute shopping (it has to be fun if they waited this long to do it) and other to plan family get-togethers. Snow or no snow, the holidays are a time to rejoice and spread good cheer.
My son stares at the base of the tree wondering what could possibly be under the festive wrappings, while I wonder if he gets up in the middle of the night to shake them. The great thing is he will be happy with whatever is hidden beneath the tree. I have a son that is glad to have a gift instead of it being a name brand, designer labeled, gizmo he would otherwise crave. The only thing I can't give him this year that he did ask for is snow. He really wanted a white Christmas.
All I wish to say before I find myself rambling on about nothing in particular is Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
