Yes, it's the day before Christmas, and the stress levels for some folks are approaching critical mass. Thankfully, I've finished my shopping, but nothing could be as bad as the year I STARTED my Christmas shopping at 5pm Christmas Eve in London. By comparison, this year has been a picnic.
Remember, y'all, it's a holiday, a time to enjoy family, give thanks, and remember what's really important. Presents are nice, but they're NOT what Christmas is all about. How about we all take a deep breath, relax, and be thankful for all that we we have?
