This morning, children all over the world are waking up and running to the tree in the living room to see if Santa came last night.  It may be a silly routine for those of us who know better, but the Magic of Christmas is one of those things that we all remember during the holidays - a time where anything could happen.  Reindeer flying, snowman dancing, a fat man fitting down a teeny chimney.

For those of you celebrating Christmas this year, Merry Christmas!  I left a note for my UPS and FedEx drivers yesterday that said:

• Dear UPS and FedEx, if you have a package for (my unit), please call (my number).  There are two five year olds who believe that you are Santa's Helpers, so please help me make their Christmases brighter by taking the time to ring upstairs.  My landlord is not here and my buzzer does not function properly at this time.  Thank you, and please, be careful on the ice!!

For those of you celebrating Channukah this year (my Jewish friends assure me that there are multiple ways to spell it - oy), eat lots of fried things for me!  I can't even get TO the donut shop this year, so the closest thing with oil that I've got is....popcorn.  I'd make a terrible Jew.

For those of you "celebrating" Snowmaggedon or Snopocolypse, I leave you with this:

Damn yous, snow! Damn yous!
