Merry Christmas Nilsen,
And may you be hangover free tomorrow morning!
A thought for the New Year:
"When reporters ask people on the last day of the calendar year what they expect from the new year, nine out of ten say that they hope to make more money. Money gives us security and the ability to acquire the necessities of life. We cannot live without money. We sell our skills and time on the labor market for financial returns, and all of us have the desire to progress by making more money. We never seem to get enough, for the more we receive the more we want.
What should be our attitude toward making money? Earthly possessions are like the tides of the sea: they come and go. Therefore, we ought not to base our destiny on the instability of earthly riches. Rather, we should receive every good and perfect gift out of God’s hand (James 1:17) and then wisely dispense the money God gives us. When we remember the needs of our fellow man and give generously, we reflect God’s generosity toward us."

Santa Claus is Road Kill Tonight
("Santa Claus is Coming To Town")
You Better watch out
You better not cry
You better not shout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is road kill tonight.
He stopped on the street
In the middle of the road
Now he's dead meat
Squashed flat like a toad
Santa Claus is road kill tonight.
He should have had more care
And used the crossing zone
He didn't see the big mac truck
That pulverized his bones. Oh
He's next to a frog
And by a flat cat
He's dead as a dog
Too bad about that
Santa Claus is road kill tonight.
He should have looked left,
He should have looked right
Now Misses Claus
Sleeps alone tonight
Santa Claus is road kill tonight.
He was caught in a headlight beam
His muscles all went slack
He started moving a little too late
Now there's tire tracks on his back. Oh
Little children will weep,
No presents to get
The coyotes will feast
On Santa cutlets
Santa Claus is road kill tonight.
Santa Claus is road kill tonight!
:rofl

Merry Christmas!

Coal Now Too Expensive To Put In Christmas Stockings
December 21, 2005
CHICAGO (Onion)—With winter's onset driving the demand for surface coal to record-high levels, the mineral's cost is now beyond the reach of low- and middle-income Americans who wish to punish their naughty children. "Coal in one's stocking is meant to serve as an admonishment or warning, not as a dependable grade-B investment," said William Menchell, a commodities adviser for T. Rowe Price. "In today's market, children should only have their stockings stuffed with lumps of coal if they have been studious and obedient, and show an interest in long-term investments in the energy sector." For more affordable punitive options, analysts point to the relatively stagnant switch market, which could soon go the way of coal if demand increases for combustible wooden sticks.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Kids were up at 3.30am opening the gifts we (Santa) leaves beside their beds....just one up the the rest are downstairs.
My wife spent the next two hours trying to keep them upstairs and away from the presents.
Basically our house has been up since then.
Fun...but MAN I'm tired.
Coffee....need coffeee.
-
you leaves gifts by the beds?
-
I'm at work so my kids have to wait until I get home around 0800. lol
I can't wait to see the looks on their cute little faces when I tell them that I am too tired and they have to wait until after my nap. I'm joking of course, I can't wait to play with my son's stuff. lol
Being a dad is great! :D
-
If we get another kid, im hoping its a boy so I get an excuse to play with Lego's and stuff again.
He would get Lego even if it wasnt on the list :D
Oh.. and trains.. lotsa electric Märklin trains!

Sorry..was early and I wasn't awake. Historically we leave one gift beside their beds so that when they wake up in the morning they think Santa has come all the way up to their rooms (after drinking his milk and giving the carrots to the reindeer, which the kids put by the fireplace).
This is the last year we will do this. Our oldest boy got up at 3.30am to go to the bathroom and found his gift. He then proceeded to wake up his brother and sister and pandemonium broke out.
Next year all the gifts will be downstairs and they will have to wait until the sun is up at least before they can go down.

Christmas is for the little ones but it sure is great when they are grown .. no more dawn awakenings only to have all the unwrapping over by 7am .... it was nice to sleep in this morning :)
Merry Christmas!

When I was a kid, we had a family reunion Christmas and the was tree in a room that had french doors that closed it off from the rest of the house.
When morning came, Uncle Val had taken the doorknobs off and told all the kids that Santa must have stolen the doorknobs. Then he volunteered to see if he could locate some more while we all had breakfast.
After all the adults were ready Uncle Val finally located a set that would open the doors.

At 3AM local time (Central US) my oldest son came into our room after discovering that Santa had been by the house and then he woke his little brother. Fortunately we were able to get them both back to sleep for a couple of hours and the day started promptly at 6AM. Well after the presents known and surprises appeared we are sitting down to a good old fashioned Alabama christmas breakfast of sausage and hashbrown casserole that my wife makes. Then its off to get my sister and her boyfriend from the airport then another round of gifts.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Happy Hanukah as well to all our jewish friends.

lol...I mentioned this to my wife Holden...she laughed and said "based on your technical ability we'd never get the handles back on!!!" Unfortunately she's probably right.
Good idea though...we'll do something "like" that next year.
Reschke...dunno how you managed to get them back to sleep. We had a monitor on in their room and my youngest son was screaming (litterally) in excitement. No way I could stay asleep. Then the older boy came into my room and wriggled around like a fish out of water...too excited to sleep and too much movement to allow me to do so.
Oh well...lesson learned for next year.
Off to "Grampa's" place for a second round of toys in about an hour.

My wife gets pissed at me for playing with Ian's (4 years old son) Lego's. He'll keep feeding daddy Legos without asking. "Why don't you let Ian play with his Lego's". Meanwhile, Ian is screaming at "what daddy built!, etc"
My goal in life? To be "the cool Dad on the block". :)
Merry Xmas to all regardless of religion, race, national origin, or creed. This is a brief escape from the monotany of the stresses of life (being broke from gift buying does not count).
From my family to all of yours, Merry Xmas!

I would have to say, The holidays were more fun when I was younger, but being around kids that are younger is still awesome, to see their faces light up when they see those presents. And those are just my cousins, I don't have kids. Anyway, have a Merry ans safe Christmas and a Happy first day of Hannukah.
