Every Christ­mas, start­ing in Novem­ber, I choose to see the best of the hol­i­day sea­son. I don’t hear the ‘I wanna have..’-whines —  I hear the oohs and ahhs of the won­der of Christ­mas. I don’t see the angry, impa­tient dri­vers — I see the hus­tle and bus­tle of hol­i­day cheer. I don’t feel the […]

My mind keeps want­ing to move on to 2011. I find myself look­ing back at 2010 and remem­ber­ing all the high­lights (and low­lights). …but we’re not quite done yet.

For the next sev­eral days I will be emers­ing myself in Hol­i­day magic. I will be cel­e­brat­ing life and remem­ber­ing the Great­est Gift of all.…Jesus.  I’ll be back after the holidays…a lit­tle fatter…and maybe a lit­tle sassier.  Till then.…

When Old­man started school, I was embar­rassed to find out that you’re sup­posed to give a gift to the teach­ers for Christ­mas. It never occurred to me for some rea­son. It’s not that I didn’t appre­ci­ate her and it’s not that Old­man didn’t love her because he did. I just didn’t know the eti­quette behind […]

Any­one who knows me for five min­utes knows that I’m a bit ridicu­lous about Christ­mas. Novem­ber is always a hard month for me so as a dis­trac­tion I plunge head first into Christ­mas.  Christ­mas and Jolly goes hand in hand…leaves no room for grumpy old peo­ple me. I don’t live in the home of my […]
