Santa Morgan…
Dec 17th
Morgan’s teacher sent us this picture of him at school, and I dressed it up a bit… He’s wearing his sunglasses, and his pair of acoustic ear muffs, as well as a borrowed santa hat. The sunglasses are worn because he likes them, and the ear muffs so loud noises won’t bother him. He frequently wears his ear muffs around the house, and doesn’t have a problem with hearing us talk, unless he doesn’t like what we’re saying, though they really do muffle noises well.
As you can see, he’s all excited about Yuletime being here… All his presents have arrived, and will be wrapped the night before the Solstice like they always are. Thankfully he’s not like I was, as a child, the night before Christmas, staying up wicked late because of how excited I was, then waking up at the crack of dawn. Though he does wake up well before Pookey, or I, wake up, he’s good about not opening any of his presents until we drag our sorry asses out of bed. It’s such a joy watching him open them, and I wouldn’t want to miss it for the world. This time of year is such a magical time, especially looking at it through the eyes of a child.
Best Wishes…
Dec 9th

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all…
…AND a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only “AMERICA” in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.
(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.)
