Tiz true. People do all kinds of things around Christmas they wouldn't do during the year.
btw- the term is drive the team. :)

Damn... you are an ass!

Now I wanna' make a box that goes tick, TICK, TICK.
Must...fight...urge...:worried:

I was working at a law library in Los Angeles. My hours were 3:30pm 'til midnight. We had just had our Christmas party that afternoon where we each got a small gift and our Christmas bonuses. And I had several plates of food left over from the party in a bag.
I received $50.00, a tin of M&Ms and a small teddy bear.
As I was walking to the bus stop after work that night (Christmas Eve) a man and his wife and small son (about 4 years old) were waiting on the bench. The man asked me if I could help them out. They were trying to raise enough money to get a motel room for the night because they had just been evicted from their apt. for not being able to pay their rent. He had lost his job. I handed him the envelope with the $50.00 in it and I gave the Mom the bag with the food. Then I gave the tin with the little teddy bear on it to the boy. He gave me the biggest smile and hugged my neck.
I was smiling and crying for days after that. That family gave me the best present I ever received.

And ever since then, every Christmas, this is the first thing I think about when I think of the holiday.

Nice. It is good when people "get it". You clearly do. Good man.

Just the idea of this season makes every day a blessing.
My son learned how to say Feliz Navi Dad to the lady that helps us out around the house for a few hours on Fri. so he could tell her Merry Christmas. Then he gave her a hug. He is diving into Christmas as strongly as Halloween (we are still listening to Nightmare Before though) and he still has his Jack necklace on.
That will make this year beyond anything I could have imagined in the past.

Why are you resurrecting 2 year old threads to insult people?

She said she wanted to drop something off after dark and drive away. This is at a woman's shelter, where security is taken very seriously in order to keep the women safe. His suggestion to leave it in a more appropriate place is a good one. How is he an ass?

I was being sarcastic.

Wow, I just ran across you (rkz) on myspace while video surfing haha

no you did NOT...it is a LIE!!!!
Nothing happening over here... nothing to see... move along.

Then what's with the midget and the goat? hehe

Just a couple of friends on a picnic.... it was a long story!
The goat came on to me!

Thats what they all say... what would your mother think?!?

"get him out of that goat"?

and probably to wash your hands

That would be my Dad. That is his "thing".
