My 9 year old wants to see the NORAD Santa Cam and I just checked it to find out its all CGI. He’ll never buy it. Anyway, now Bad Santa is playing and my wife is frantically looking for a small box for my sister’s gift. I’m not going to get involved because my opinion is that my sister probably wont give a hoot what box her gift comes in.As I just typed that, my 3 year old started playing the piano … correction banging on the keys. Wow this is in true real time I tell you! The devil toy just started singing from the other room, how’s your Christmas going?
I love the smooth spots of Christmas when I can enjoy the flavors and calm and thoughts of what the season truly means. these high stress snapshots are not what we remember yet they are always here! I am not exactly sure what still needs to be done before bed. I’ve a feeling I won’t get through bad Santa without doing some work … oh, how I hope the night will soon become silent. Well, the wife just asked me to start wrapping presents so … no increasing the content rating of my blog tonight. God bless you all, see you soon.

May not be calm, but it reminds me of many a Christmas with our son and niece… happy memories they will be… you made me smile! Merry Christmas, y’all!
