Rude Cactus: Merry Merry

December 24, 2007

Merry Merry

When I was a kid, I'd always go out for a fancy dinner with my parents on Christmas Eve. Then I'd end up at home, lying in bed staring at the ceiling waiting for some sign that Santa was on the roof. I never saw him but I thought I heard him more than once. When I got older, some of the magic disappeared but now that I'm a parent it's back. And I plan on soaking in every moment of it I can.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy this holiday, doing whatever it is you do with whomever you chose to spend it. Me, well, I'll be doing some last minute present wrapping and trying to squeeze as many cheesy Christmas movies into the day as I can. I'll see you on the flip-side of Christmas. In the mean time, I wish you all the very best the season has to offer. Thank you for blessing me this year.

Children have an amazing way of renewing interests in many things including the holidays. I recently watched (really watched - from beginning to end) Van Allsberg's Polar Express with my Lil' Smoke and walked away with fresh breath of belief.

Wishing the best for the Cacti. We start all over in about 7 days.

Does "Die Hard" count as a Christmas movie? If so, I'm right there with you...

Merry Christmas to you and the whole family!

Merry Christmas to the Cactus-Fish family. Sorry I haven't been around much. Life is a little crazy, and my blog is on hiatus indefinitely. I do drop by from time to time. Hope all is well, and was I right in reading that it is going to be a little boy Fish-Cactus?
