Just a short post today, Christmas. It is about as great as it could be, with kids and grandkids. Celebrating in Sacramento, we've seen whole blocks in the "fab 40s" decked out in terrific lighting displays. The grandkids were so excited, I thought our grandson would wet himself in anticipation. And then, this morning, he declared that Santa really did read the wish list (although he didn't get everything for which he yearned). A call to the extended family added to the day.
In addition to celebrating the birth of Christ, our Savior, being with the innocence of youth as they enjoy the day is just about the perfect way to spend the day.
After spending too many holidays away from family when I was on active duty, this is small payback.
I can't end, however, without commenting about the thousands of our warriors who are deployed away from their families, protecting our freedoms. May the ner do wells in Washington DC strive harder to warrant this service and sacrifice. (2012 didn't show me the electeds were worthy of the service and sacrifice.)
God Bless you all.
