Well, Mama’s really know how to make Christmas beautiful but put your hands in the air for all the Dad’s that finance it. Blessed to be able to stay at home full time and benefit from cash infusions. Thanks to our Dad and Tonas, I’m sure your wife feels the same, how blessed we are to be able to spend so much time with our kids, doing it on one income, and not really lacking in anything that we need to be happy and content.

Every year the kids say "this was the most beautiful Christmas ever" this year is no exception. Christmas is so about the gathering of friends, those things Mama’s only cook this time of the year. The cookies, the Gingerbread houses, the tree, the ornaments, all the special concerts and gatherings, Christmas songs at church, the solstice celebrations, donating a toy or two, big vacation from school, and of course waiting for Santa. We are all so high from the Christmas spirit.

So Tonas (and a whole heap of others) had snow….there is a special saying here "Only Southern Children ask Santa for snow" I don’t know how true that is but it has appeared on more than one letter to Santa from this house. One year it came four days after Christmas, came and went all in one day (just the way we like it) but it was beautiful.
Peace, Brother!
