Education and Technology

When you are younger you get toys and all kinds of cool things for Christmas. As you get into your late teens and twenties, the cool things kind of get replaced with socks, ties, underwear and other gifts (fruit cake). As you get into your 40’s and later you start asking for socks and underwear because you really need them but you get the unneeded tie or some other cutesy turtleneck or game that you will never use.

I always ask for one thing that I really need along with the socks and underwear these days. This year I asked for a new laptop backpack. Figuring that I wouldn’t get it I had stashed away the $90 for it after the holidays, but lest I get ahead of myself the in-laws actually bought me a real nice JanSport backpack that I had shown my wife online at Office Depot. I had seen it at the store when I was getting some supplies for the HP 2600n printer. Needless to say I was in a state of shock and almost forgot to say thank you before grabbing the old backpack and migrating everything to the new JanSport. Oh, I also got the socks and underwear.

Well, I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas and I wish you a happy New Year!

Gifts, Holidays, Presents, Christmas

In the Public school system there is the use of the term “Winter Break” as to not offend anyone by saying Christmas Break/Vacation. Personally, I don’t care what you call it.

I celebrate Christmas and go to church on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day I open presents with my family, watch the parade on TV, and eat a Christmas feast. It’s fun, it’s relaxing, I celebrate my religion and my family. I believe that the holidays are more than a religious occasion, they show us what we should be as people. What we should be to others, that we should not be at war with others, we should be at peace. Look not at the religion, but instead look at the underlying meaning. The holiday season should be an inner look at your family, your faith, your life.

Enjoy your family, your faith, yourself! Time on this earth is short, it will be gone before you have the time to see the real meaning of life. That is what the holidays are about.

I am going to enjoy my Christmas Vacation.
