Our gift unwrapping ceremony was once again a very pleasant experience this year, reminding me of how extremely fortunate I am and all the good that God has done in my life. I did realize afterward that I was so preoccupied with making sure the event got video-recorded that I failed to ensure the perpetuation of the very important family traditions of firing wrapping paper balls incessantly upon one another while unwrapping the presents, and sticking the bows all over ourselves for added festive flair. Sorry charlies! We’ll pick the traditions back up next year, especially at Uncle Tom’s house…
