Merry Christmas, everyone!

As I sit here, desperately ordering the last few Christmas gifts (thank goodness for Amazon), I can see the first kid out in the street, trying out his new toy, a hinged skateboard.  It’s pretty funny - he definitely is going to take some time to get used to it.  And that reminds me what Christmas is all about - laughing at others!

No, really.  Christmas is, for me at least, about remembering how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life.  Chances are pretty good (my readership being what it is) that if you read this blog on a regular basis, you are one of those people.  So I just want to say, thank you - all of you - for filling my life with such love and joy.  I truly do love every one of you.

Okay, enough sappiness.  Time to go eat some food and open some presents - the second- and third-most important aspects of Christmas!
