Yes - this IS the reason for the season! Thank you, Cloud, for the ever timely reminder.
I always tell my kids that Santa Clause is like the clown at the birthday party: he's fun, but he's not the reason we celebrate.
As with any good birthday party, though, I plan to enjoy the presents I give away and the trinkets I manage to bring home. The food will be wonderful, but this year I'm most looking forward to a quiet Christmas in a cabin with my family. It won't be the same without our youngest this year, but this is not the first year we've gone through this, so hopefully easier than last year.
I still say we're gonna need snow before I really feel like Christmas .... if anyone can do anything about that, let me know. ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
