my friends call me scrooge – but its only cause they don’t really understand. I hate pretty much every form of commercialism and so at Christmas i can be sort of uncool about American traditions. But I have spent the afternoon getting our fake tree out and watching the kids decorate it.
There are certain things about the whole thing that are nice. I don’t get to take it easy and lay around the house with the family much in the first place. Today I am chilling on the couch (just like MY dad used to do when we decorated the tree) while the kids decorate. Right now they are putting together a train set around the tree that my good friend, Alex, gave them years ago. There is some good stuff in these sorts of memories.
And did I tell you that my pregnant wife is looking particularly beautiful today? she is…
Awww, honey. You almost made me cry. I love you and am so glad you are enjoying the memories we pulled out today.
