Sant Clause IS Coming To Town

I will not waste time belaboring well established fact. I have gotten a present(s) from the jolly old soul for 45 consecutive Christmases, and I don't anticipate that changing this year!!!!!!!!

Comment as you like, but in this case I AM RIGHT!!!!

"Home" for Christmas

The old Bing Crosby song always comes to mind this time of year. "I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on it.........If only in my dreams." I've been listening to a series of old tapes from 1961, 1962, 1969, 1971, and 1975 that have the voices of my family in various cities that we met to celebrate the holidays with each other. Each one of those cities and homes have very special meaning to me, but the locations are not available anymore. So what does I'll be home for Christmas mean. It's pretty simple. It means you are with the people you love most, and regardless of where you are it's home. Right now i'm in Canon City, Colorado and not in the house that saw me grow up. It's occupied by another family in Sunray, Texas. How is this strange place in Colorado home? My parents live in it. That makes it home. My wife is here with me. That makes it home. Many of you are in touch with me via the net. That makes it home. "They" say home is where the heart is, but I say home is where you are and what you make of it.
