Merry Christmas

Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes, y'all.

I didn't think this one needed any tinsel, so I let it be.

PFHQ is in full Christmas tradition mode at this point with all kids home and a turkey ready to go oven diving.

I love our Christmas traditions.

The thing about tradition, is ... well, ...it's traditional.
Not boringly repetitive, but reliably consistent.
Sorta like that heirloom climbing rose outside my window.
It'll bloom this spring, just like it does every spring and the blossoms will be white just like they were last year and every year before.

T'won't be exactly the same though.
T'will be reliable,comforting, and welcome when it happens with just enough change to make it a unique experience.


That's how I see it anyway.

Let's see ... checking my list and checking it twice ...

• All shopping is done.
• I should take my grandfather's shotgun out and blast a bit of mistletoe from the top of the PFHQ oaks.
• Tonight is my favorite family night of the year.
• Junior agrees with me.
• Bear is pretty crazy about this day too.

Now, I should get wrapping.

Merry Christmas to you all.
