| Going “home for the holidays” be it Thanksgiving or Christmas is a deep seated part of the American way, going back many generations. By car, train or plane, going home for the holidays is the only place for us to be whether it is across town, country or even across the world, there is just no place like home. That chance to spend time with those you love, who are so much a part of our lives, to celebrate our good fortune or console the years shortcomings. I for one can’t imagine the holidays without going home, at least for a day or two.Well now that we have entered that funny period between holidays and I have gotten past Thanksgiving, perhaps a spark or two will enter my life and I’ll start showing a little bit of that Christmas Spirit, like I did in years past. |
Hey I might even dig out a few strands of lights for the house, but don’t hold out too much hope that I will put forth anywhere near the efforts of Clark Griswold! I certainly don’t want to hear anybody telling me “The little lights... they aren't twinkling”. And if that doesn’t work maybe I’ll get a little help from my old friend Jack. You remember him, Jack Daniels? So enjoy these few crazy weeks from now till Christmas. They only come once a year and the memories will only be what you make of them.
When all is said and done, what is on my Christmas list for all of you is, perhaps a touch of prosperity, a blessing of peace and for me, all I want is to have my son home for the holidays! |
