You know...I felt that way for about seven or eight years or so.

Now that I have a daughter...it's humbled me & brought back all the magic of what Christmas was about for me when I was a child.

All of the classic kids flicks like Frosty the Snowman, Ruldolf the red nosed Reindeer, A Christmas Story, It's A Wonderul Life, Santa's Coming to Town, & the original Grinch flick are a must. We've been watching them for the last week or two. Already decorated our tree a few weeks or so too. Things like that really REALLY make a father happy to be a father.

Materialism & shit like that just falls by the way side.

In Wacko's humble er-pinion...Christmas is often a product of what you make it...even though the bigger picture has been dulled down a bit...it don't take much to brighten things up.

A few lights, a tree, some ribbon, & some kind words puts a bit of a spin on everything.
