Merry Christmas!!!!

Gretel, Atticus, and I had a great Christmas together, but there was one big downfall. When Santa realized our chimney-less situation and the size of Atticus, he gave us the Tom Brady treatment and hail married our gifts through the window. Gretel was less angry over the window, but she was furious at the arctic temperature in the house; I on the other hand was just impressed by his arm. Seriously, Santa may be in the wrong business. Regardless, Santa was still quite generous and we received just about everything on our wish list (eachother) with the exception of a girlfriend for Atticus and a new window. Atticus was soooo excited to open up his gifts; continually asking us..."just one more Dad, PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSE, just one more." O.k., the tone may be off a little,but when the time was right he opened his gifts with such enthusiasm you would have thought we soaked his new blanket and bed in beef bullion. The wrapped bones were o.k., but the thrill of the wrapping paper was out of this world. Gretel and I spent a very slow and well deserved lazy day together, which got me thinking; how much longer do we have to play grown up? If it is going to be a while, I suppose we will continue to make the best of it. We hope you all have had a great Christmas as well and look forward to another year shared with those we love. We miss you all. -ThE GyPsies
