I subscribe to this website that emails you an inspriational quote every day (well, with my work email filter it's more like 2x a month...), and today the below message actually made it through. I figured, of all the things to not be filtered out, this one was a pretty good one. i thought i'd share...it puts things into perspective i think.
Merry christmas everyone...
"And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow
Stood puzzling and puzzling: 'How could it be so?'
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!
And he puzzled three hours, 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!"
-----------Dr. Seuss, 1904-1991Beloved Cartoonist and Children's Book Author
Deep down inside we know
that the best gifts
don't come from catalogs
or shopping malls
They don't come in brightly-colored packages
or fancy envelopes
and they're not sitting under a tree somewhere...
The best gifts come from the heart.
They come when we look at each other
REALLY look at each other
and say 'You mean a lot to me'
or 'I'm so glad you're a part of my life'
A gift like that will never go out of style
or be forgotten
or be returned for a different size.
A gift like that can change the world.

Things do not come wrapped in boxes or paper, for the paper wrapping is evil and should be sent away, or atleast in my case anyways.
Have a Merry Christmas Ms. Katie, I am glad to call you my friend. If I don't see you before I leave for Texas, have a safe drive home and a good holiday with the family. Tell them all hi for me,
Brad
