The House Dad - by Jonathan Rosen

Holiday time

December 20th 2006 18:43
Good morning everybody,
Been a tough few days. I never mentioned how the other day how my internet went out over the weekend. Killed my browsing and of course my blogging capabilities, so it’s been a little while. Everything looks like it is back to normal, so here we go. We are right in the midst of the of the holiday season, so everything is about that right now. Chanukah is almost over for us right now and it has been a lot of fun. For the eight nights, we have given smaller gifts each of the nights and save the big gifts for the last night. One of those include a slurpee machine so we’re hoping the kids will be ecstatic since they ask for them all the time. Actually, my kids wake up in the morning asking for their gifts and we don’t give them out until night time, so it’s a little bit of leverage we have for during the day. I know it’s terrible of us but whatever works for three kids to behave is justified.

This is my favorite time of the year overall. Starting with Halloween time since I like the countdown to Thanksgiving and then the December holidays. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, period. It is a national holiday for America, no matter what religion you are, you get to celebrate the country you live in. Just a warm feeling of family and loved ones. Then the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas time is fantastic. It just feels like there is a change in the air the countdown begins. Seeing the lights and decorations go up, hearing the holiday music on the radio, the hustle and bustle of people shopping and everybody being friendly to each other. (Obviously not at stores, where everybody is nuts trying to get their gifts). My kids happen to be off from school for the next two days and I am actually looking forward to that. It will be nice to do things with them during the day and enjoy the holiday. We taped several holiday specials and we will have a mini-marathon tomorrow. Make some popcorn and use their new slurpee machine. I can’t wait.

Hope you all enjoy your holiday season as well,
Jonathan
