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

Mike,
Thanks for the gift. The party here starts at one and the PC gets turned of at noon. My grandson will keep us busy.
Merry Christmas.

Michael...
It's been another great year my friend and it is a pleasure to read your posts every day. Thanks for the reminder about just how precious time is, I hope that you party all day long. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Michael, I am up extra early to get the cameras, breakfast and of coarse those last three presents wrapping. We have one in the Marines Flight so he will get connected via phone. Merry Christmas.
Message received, I am turning off the lap-top and enjoying the rest of the day with my family, kids and grandson are on their way over. Merry Christmas Michael.
Michael..can't wait to see some of your pictures..have a Great Christmas with your family..
Great post and thought provoking as well. Last night was a bit hectic, but today is slow paced, relaxing and bonding with the family, presents are done,no kids today, ahhhhhhhhhhhh
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.
Michael,
I have breaks in the day so I pop in to make comments and do a few computer things.,
Ahhh...time with the family, PRICELESS. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hi Michael,
Sounds like you will have a great time all day! I'm catching my breath before the whole family descends! Merry Christmas and thanks for your gift!
I'm cooking....helping my Gary with his broken wrist...and blogging until I have to get ready to do the family thing :)
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I hope that the final days of 2009 and the start of 2010 are filled with joy!
your friend in Charlottesville!
A hectic day with no phone, no computer, and no paperwork...other than "wrapping paper" work!
Merry Christmas to you and yours Michael!
Merry Christmas to you too Michael and a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2010.
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. ;-(
