		<description>Hey Dave, good to see you here!

Being in the moments of the season - that&#039;s just a great thought.  And one I&#039;ll try to embrace, as well.  And you&#039;re giving your kids the best gift - you!  That&#039;s very cool!  Have a very wonderful and happy Christmas, Dave - you and your whole family!!

		<description>Nice post! I especially like this thought:

&quot;There is not much that can’t be fixed by the careful application of personal attention, and who better to give it than someone not tied to a rigid agenda and steeped in the ludicrous expectations of a perfect Christmas Holiday?&quot;

Expectations and general perfectionism will get you every time, won&#039;t they? How wonderful that you&#039;re figuring these things out when your kids are young, and can directly benefit from what you&#039;ve learned.

		<description>To paraphrase Alexander Graham Bell; when one door closes, another opens...the trick is to look through the open door, rather than stare longingly at the closed.... I can see that you have walked through that door Dave. Your kids will remember the gift of time far over any gadget. Best of the season to all!</description>
