This Christmas, for some reason, I am coming across more and more things that remind me of Christmases before we (Debbie and me), became three (let's face it, kids change Christmas-for the better-forever).

There was true joy when I could give Debbie a gift-knowing how much it would mean to her.  And like this guy, often I could not wait until Christmas to give it.

I can only imagine how good this young husband feels while watching his wife open this package.  On that note, there are two gifts at Christmas I've always wanted to witness in person:  the gift of a car (too rich for my blood), and the gift of a puppy.

We're not in person, but this is the next best thing.
