Santa's Magic
"Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat please to put a pudding in the old mans hat." Not very cheery lyrics at all but embedded in my memories of Christmas. The holidays are so full of expectation that for a while I kind of backed away until I was so emotionally removed that I didn't care. Not the best solution. Because I really do love the cheery lights and connecting with loved ones and friends during the holidays. Reviewing the year past. And the red and green and jingle bells.
Ben, I and Archer celebrates Channeka as well as Christmas, which I think is nice. I can't wait until we move to a place that we have more room for a Christmas tree. Like a lot of new parents I've become a total cornball. Crying at stupid car commercials. Getting choked up at the Grove when the Christmas music blares and Archer dances his happy jig. It really is true experiencing things "through the eyes of a child" is really the sweetest thing.
I was reading my friend Robert's blog www.allthingsbutnone.com - he writes about our longing to connect and find passion and the question marks that often swirl around our heads in regards to "purpose". Those question marks bang around my head a lot. But as I type and Vince Guarldi plays "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and I think of all of the wonderful people in my life those questions lie still and I feel peace. Happy Holidays and peace to you.

Can you comment on allthingsbutnone? The music is very beautiful, this is film-quality music, a wonderful work of art - but sadly that's all there is, nothing more, it's all things but none - what is it?
