Merry Christmas Mike. Wishing you and the family a great New Year too. I also would like to reiterate that the work you do here is very much appreciated!
For me, Christmas growing up was a grand time. Having little money, my parents did a great job of raising the 4 of us that we didn't know how little we had. I grew up thinking that my parents waited for us to go to bed before decorating for Christmas morning. Little did I know that the real reason was that we got our tree from the local church we attended, after the midnight mass, as the pastor gave away the trees that were apart of their decorations, no longer needing them. And, my mom would make doll close for my sister's dolls and put the dolls under the tree and I later learned that my dad would retrieve from the yard, rifles my brother and I got last year, refinish them and put them under the tree. Old photos of Christmas mornings looked like we got more presents than our neighbors. Reflecting back, we were rich, because our parents gave us their time. The greatest gift anyone could give.
