Christmas Time

Those of you who really know me, know that Christmas is my most favorite time of year. I am not quite sure if it was because my birthday is in December or what. Grandpa Priday was a great example to me when it came down to loving this time of year. I have found that as I am now responsible for the excitement of not only myself but my wife and kids as well it tends to be more work than I remember being a kid. I must have done something right so far because the kids had the tree and lights up a week and a half before Thanksgiving.

keeps me from having to do this....

So as for me and my house this year, we are going to do more of this
