BEST CHRISTMAS EVER

Every Christmas is the best Christmas ever, isn't it? This year is going to be a good one, because the family will get up soon and we'll bust open all the presents, and I will videotape it.

My daughter loves the fact that I videotape Christmas every year. Why? Because I videotape all the major milestones in our lives together. Now my wonderful daughter Courtney will also point out that I pull out the video camera, videotape, and then we never, and I mean never, never ever watch the videos. It has my daughter fuming. The camera is tucked way until Christmas, a birthday, Easter, or high school graduation.

One year Courtney made us break out all the old videos from when she was little to watch. But we haven't looked at any since. So I have vowed to make this the best Christmas ever by collecting all those videotapes of us opening gift after gift. We will all settle in to watch them. Perhaps as a result we will begin a new Christmas tradition. We will videotape Christmas, and then we will watch all those past Christmas celebrations. So from our family to yours Merry Christmas. May 2008 bring you nothing but smiles!
