The Stash
So - here's the rundown on some of the more noteworthy gifts this year...
Cash...
Amazon Gift $$ (Intended for use to purchase the ultimate/dream MP3 player.)
Kitchen Set (for Eve)
B S & T CDs.
CS Lewis Book
Simpsons Book
Black Knight
Catapult
Bob and Ray CD
and the best gift:
A small printed card that verifies that my mom and dad would love to babysit anytime. Some folks would think that we would be "taking advantage" of free babysitting and they don't always believe that my parents actually retired with the hopes of being very available grandparents. This nice card proves their intentions and makes me feel more eager to ask them to babysit.

BAH HumBug
Traditionally, I set aside some time this time of year to gripe about how Christmas has little to do with anything about my Faith and Beliefs.
Being outside of a "Traditional" church setting for several year now, I think I better understand my queasiness regarding this time of year.
The sum of all my unsettled spirit is this:
It irks me to realize that it would be socially unacceptable to not "Celebrate" Christmas.
Sometimes, it feels as if not exchanging gifts or giving more than usual to charity this time of year would somehow make me an evil person.
Shouldn't it be more evil not to do these things year-round?
To draw a sketchy analogy;
I feel like I'm being expected to continue to eat fast-food on a regular basis. It's not killing me, but it's not doing anything for my health or the health of those around me.
I'd rather eat healthy year-round and maybe even share my food with others.
All aside, I do enjoy our Christmas traditions and will certainly brag about this year's haul.
It still feels the same as eating 3 Big-Macs and then bronzing the wrappers.

Parenthood and Advent
During this Christmas Season, my wife and I suddenly have a very new perspective on "Advent."We were driving home from our usual Christ-follower gathering on Sunday when we spied all of the traditional church signs of "Advent Season."
We were often told that the Church celebrates "Advent" as a way of "getting excited" about celebrating Christmas and the birth of Christ.
Since we recently had a baby, we began to ponder aloud how "Advent" might have sounded during the "first Christmas" (the month preceding the actual birth).
Those of you who know me may already know where this was headed. I would encourage you to skip over Susan and my "Joseph and Mary Role-play" and leave your own comments as to how Joseph and Mary may have "celebrated Advent..."
Imagine Joe and Mary saying things like:
"But we HAVE to go to Bethlehem. It's the Law!"
"I don't care about the Law. I'm pregnant. Bring Bethlehem to me."
"Be reasonable, Mary."
"Shut UP! I'm not married to you, yet. You go to Bethlehem. I'll wait here. But you better hurry up and get back here before this kid shows up!"
"Maybe a good Donkey ride will trigger labor?..."
We're quite sure Joe got a lot of the "Fire Swamp" look (watch Buttercup before they enter the Fire-Swamp in the "Princess Bride").
Later...
"You mean, you dragged me alllll the way to Bethlehem and you didn't make reservations?! And wait; didn't you say you had family here? Is this the kind of welcome we can expect at Passover, too?"
"Don't you tell me to calm down. You're not the one carrying the Son of God and about to drop Him of a Donkey!"
"What do you mean? Why should I have been the one to pack the receiving blankets?"
and finally...
"Don't you touch me."
"Hey - your pain wasn't my fault!"
"We'll get married when I'm good and ready, Joe-boy!"
