Ozz ,those things can never be replaced...the memorys ....the tears of happiness watching your youngsters so innocent and unknowingly open there surpirises..The hot chocalate and gifts.Family time together and just the simple fact of knowing that everyone is in good spirits during those times.
I remimber back when my kids were young, I mean when they were young enough to believe in Santa Claus and the surprise on there little faces , the smiles the laughter and god it felt great to be the MAN of the house , the provider the one who makes it all come together and happen for them ......
My son would come running into my bedroom and tackle me ,jump on the bed and jump up and down at 4:30am on christmas morning after seeing the tree so full of gifts marked "from Santa " ...He was on topof the world,,,,And there is no better feeling than that my friend .
Cherish all these moments when there young ,all of them ,,,,,,Merry Christmas to you Brother and Happy Holidays to you and all your families .
