Christmas

Christmas has arrived and vanished.  Luckily, I stock piled some Starbucks Christmas blend so I still have that.  Did you try any of Blue Bell’s Spiced Pumpkin Pecan ice cream?  Many people in my life were whispering about how excellent it was.  The word on the street was get-it-while-you-can.  I actually never tried it.  My parents offered some to me, but I declined.  This Christmas was different because we have a baby in the family.  He did not want to sleep.   Unfortunately, you can’t reason with a baby.  You can’t explain to him how in the big picture it’s better for him to rest.  If I had to pick a word to describe my holiday it would be interesting.  New Years is right around the corner.  I have never been one to make a big deal about New Years.  Have you made any resolutions for 2012?  In my opinion, it is always helpful to have a goal.  Goals help us navigate thru the crossings and the stops in life.  I am also a big fan of lists.  Santa Claus and I share that list-making quality.  He would probably point out to me that his list is longer though, because he’s a guy.  Guys like to compete.  I did not get the competitive gene.  Cheers.
