I just got these pictures uploaded so I thought I would share some fond memories of my first Christmas. First things first...snow. Snow is great for burrowing...very cold but very fun. The next thing is the tree. The tree is great for giving that outdoorsy feel that I so long for. You can attack the branches, drink the pine fresh water, or even bask in the glow of the lights as you tear them off of the branches. Lastly and most importantly, the presents. They just put them under the tree. What kind of challenge is that? One thing that is important is to unwrap the presents early. Then by the time Christmas rolls around you can be completely indifferent to everything they put in front of you. Well, except the wrapping paper. I love a good crinkly paper. I got some tubes for Christmas and they were kewl. But the most important thing to remember is the life lessons that you learn from this most important holiday. Life is short so get all you can and...like I always say, "The greatest gift you can receive is the gift that you steal yourself."
