There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

Rudolph



Christmas is especially magical when you have kids in the house. I love playing Santa Claus and hiding their gifts. I can't wait to see their faces when we decorate the tree, drive around looking for lights, or show them the Nativity and read The Christmas Story.

Rudolph came on tv lastnight. It was a childhood favorite of mine, along with Frosty the Snowman. The boys watched about 15 minutes of it before resuming their game of "let's climb on the bed when Mom's not looking and jump, jump, jump."

But, they'll eventually appreciate it.

Maddox didn't even ask about Rudolph's red nose. He only had two things on his mind:

"Mom, why is that toy sad?" (referring to the misfits)

"Mom, who is that? I wanna see that again!" (referring to the big, bad Abominable Snowman)
