Christmas Morning 2009

It's been said that to wake up on Christmas morning is to regret for a moment not being a child.  Isn't that the truth?

It's also true that five minutes after beginning to open the packages, the regret begins that the opening wasn't savored a little longer.

Now begins the long wait until Spring.

But wasn't it fun while it lasted?

Next year will be tweaked a bit.  We'll keep better lists of gifts.  We'll get better pictures for cards.  We'll meet with friends more often and laugh lots.  We'll definitely get our flu shots and start wrapping a little earlier.  And there will be lots less complaining for sure.  We'll learn from this year.  That's what we'll do.

But wasn't it fun even so?  It sure was.
