Time. One of those commodities that we have so little precious of. Time. It definitely is not on our sides. Time. Like sand through the hourglass, we let it slip through our hands. Time. It's our enemy and our friend.
Hollywood has done a wonderful job, to create timeless classics depicting this beautiful Season we celebrate. Some of these movies and characters we can possibly relate to. Scrooge, Bob Crachet, George Bailey, Alvin... Alvin? Who dat?
Today, I have taken the time to wrap 4 very special gifts to my extended ActiveRain family. 4 timely gifts. But there is a catch... You can only pick one. You see, each gift contains but 24 hours of time. Time you can spend any way want on YOUR very special day.
Work. Just a minute hon. Tell the kids, Daddy will be down in a sec to take pictures. I just have to satisfy this last minute change to the contract...
A-h-h-h. Time with the family. Look hon! Isn't she great? Tell the kids, daddy is going to fix something special for breakfast this morning...
Fret and stew. This just isn't right. Hon, be down in a minute. Tell the kids, I will be down in 5 minutes, I promise...
A-a-a-l-l-lvin!!! Dats me hon! Whoo! Whoo! Tell the kids this Christmas is going to be a party. A-A-A-L-L-lvin!! The tre-e-e-e...
Which of these gifts are you going to pick? How will you be choosing to spend YOUR time today? I know how I will be spending MINE ☺☺☺
Merry Christmas ActiveRain

A very Merry Christmas to you, Michael. Now, If I can get Tanner to shut off his new video game, I will spend the rest of the day enjoying him and his love. Later on, It's off to Mom & Dad's house for the big family dinner. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Hope you had a great Christmas Day Michael. Thankfully the ice storm in my neck of the woods fizzled out, and the rain allowed me the time and the mood to take a nap! I have a sugar hangover. ;-(
