GogglesnTeeth 6 #1 December 14, 2004 Ok, so I have told this before but thought I would share this again. [sappy thoughts] When Christmas rolls around, I still think of my first Christmas with my step daughter while I was married. She was 4 at the time, and I came up with a great way to make her think that Santa had come to our apartment. For a few days earlier I had convinced her that our entertainment center would turn into a fireplace for Santa since we didn't have one. Christmas morning, my wife and I got up, and I had the idea to use flour and make footprints all over the apartment starting at the entertainment center, around the tree, into the kitchen, bathroom, and one quick stop at her door. My wife and I went back to bed and later my step daughter came in and woke me up to tell me that the cats had made a mess. With my usual gift of bullshit, I told her that the cats didn't make a mess, but it was Santa's footprints. The snow (flour) didn't melt because it was from the north pole. When she saw the mess that "Santa" had made with the hot chocolate and cookies, and then saw the footprints all over the place, I think she really believed in the magic of Christmas. It was my only (so far) Christmas like that, and I will remember the look in her eyes every year. Thought I would share this story again, and maybe give a few of you some ideas to put that look of magic in a childs eyes. [/end sappy thoughts] Oh, and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc to my skydiving brothers and sisters.Goggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!"
