Presence of Presents

Year after year 

Santa is presented with a present dilemma.

"What to get the kids?"

During years of Christmases past...

presents were a no-brainer for Santa.

A Barbie, 

a baseball bat, 

and a baby doll 

fulfilled Chelsea, Colin, and Brianna’s 

wish list.

With each year, however,

the present dilemma got trickier.

Last year Santa came through in a big way 

and presented them with a 

Best Buy Christmas.

(You really can't go wrong with electronics for presents….

unless, OF COURSE,

 you’re given a  sucky vacuum cleaner.)

Bad Santa

This year…

Santa presented them with 
a throw-back Chrismas...

a record player (complete with our old albums) for Brianna,
a recipe box (complete with Mom’s recipes) for Chelsea

and 

a workout headband (complete with mullet) for Colin.

Anywhooo…….

A few years ago 
Santa had the presence of mind 

to figure out

that kids their age like cold hard cash as presents
so Santa

presented
them with an 
ATM.

When it’s their turn….
they insert the card
into the ATM

and out pops cash.

The more trips to the ATM…

the merrier. 

Ho Ho Ho

And what could be better than cash?

Having our 3 at home…

all of us under the same roof, 
in the same room,

makes my Christmas day.

The presence of their presence

 is the best present.ever.

It doesn't get better than that.
