Christmas Anticipation

I'm going to piggy back on what my dad said and add a few thoughts of my own. Please read his post first.

Christmas has become for me totally about giving and spending time with family. I still like stuff as I have documented on here before, but there are 364.24 other days in a given year.

I can remember almost every Christmas Day or at least parts of every Christmas day going back at least 15-18 years, which is more than I can say about any other calendar day.

I am really looking forward to being with my family this year. I appreciate them more every year than I did the previous.

On slightly comical note is that this year we are giving PRESENCE instead of PRESENTS, in which case it might indeed be better to give than receive. Especially if your name is Chad Ochocinco.

Adultery

My son, pay attention to my wisdom,

listen well to my words of insight,

that you may maintain discretion

and your lips my preserve knowledge,

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,

and her speech is smoother than oil;

but in the end she is bitter as a double-edged sword.

Her feet go down to death;

her steps lead straight to the grave.

She gives no thought to the way of life;

her paths are crooked, but she knows it not.
