Over the years my family and I have received many great gifts, many that we felt were undeserved and unexpected. In many ways those are the best presents to receive. This year is no exception. Two great Friends who will go unmentioned have made this Christmas extra spacial not only for me and my beautiful young wife but also for all of our wonderful children. I work construction and with the economy in dire straights work is hard to find right now. My wife works hard but but after paying the rent and bills that doesn't leave any extra cash for much. We have great kids that understand that with my job it is either feast of famine. The younger kids put on a understanding face but I know deep down in their little hearts that they are a little disappointed that this Christmas will not be like the ones in the past. I am very proud of all my kids for keeping their heads up and not complaining about the temporary position that we find our self in. I know that this to shall pass and things will turn around, It always does. We also know that presents are not the real reason for the season. So with a roaring fire burning in the fireplace A lighted Christmas tree and declarations all around the house and great family chit-chat this Christmas may just be the best one ever.
Our family wish to you is that you all have a very marry Christmas and a happy New Years.
Merry Christmas to all
God Bless

Yes, Christmas is slim pickens all over, but that's all right for me and my wife. We love each other and are happy to be together in a healthy loving relationship. After all, this time of year should really be about spending time with loved ones, and enjoying the happiness and companionship of others. Merry Christmas Gube, and all of you too!
When I was growing up we didn't have the toys & gadgets that kids have now (or want). Not getting what you really want but happily enjoying what you get builds character. I think your kids will one day appreciate this.
Thank you peacetoyou and happy HanuKwanzMas you to......
I love you, Gube!
Without you even knowing it...you have shown people what great parents you and your wife are! Children with the attitude you just described learned it from loving parents and knowing what the true meaning of family is. You definitely raised my Christmas Spirit level with this sweet story.
Happy HanuKwanzMas To All!
