Opening Presents Early


Because of our busy schedules over the next few days right up to Christmas Eve and Christmas day, my family enjoyed a lovely dinner tonight and then gathered together and opened our Christmas presents.  It was a warm, caring, special time that included two large dogs loudly chewing on bones.   (You know that loud chewing enhances almost any experience, don’t you?)

You might be saying, “Wait a minute, Dan!  How is it possible that you’ve opened up presents already?  Does Santa come to your house earlier than everyone else’s home?”

The answer is, “Not usually.”

But this year I negotiated a special deal with Santa for an early delivery.  He does this on occasion with certain people; if “you punks will grease the wheels.”  (That’s his phrase and it reveals a side of Santa that people don’t typically see.)

Now, the presents are opened and we’re sitting back and enjoying this wonderful family time together….  Which means that we’re each in separate rooms with electronic devices and I’m typing strange thoughts to post online for my amusement.

And… hopefully… for your amusement, too.
