Cool as the Other Side of Your Pillow...


That is cool - I always liked this expression, mostly because as a kid it was always hot in my bedroom, so on those steamy summer nights the only reprieve I could find was the other side of my pillow.

Funny that it was always cool, no matter how often you flipped it. Which is sorta like Christmas, no matter how many you've gone through before each one is cool, and special - This will be Sophie's First Christmas, and althought she is too young to be bombarded with the overt commercialization of the event, she's old enough to appreciate spending time with the people you love, and being able to rip open packages with youthful exhuberance. I don't know when the tide shifts so that you are more excited about giving presents than receiving them - but that's a good day - because we get a glimpse of the true spirit of Christmas.

This is the tree in my front yard, and I'm always blown away how cool it can look when the night is just right.

Only 12 Sleeps until the big day...
