Hey Dad,
The kids just ran down to my office to announce that it's snowing. That makes it official—the first snowfall of the season. Perfect timing. Here we are arriving at the Christmas starting gate, and God is gracious enough to send a little snow. ('Cause everyone knows that Christmas officially starts on Thanksgiving morning.) You know, right at the end of the Macy's Day Parade. You do watch the parade, don't you? I'm not referring to one of the imitation Thanksgiving parades that take place in Hawaii or California. I'm talking about the New York original.
Talk about great father/kid time. The kids love the marching bands, floats, and gigantic balloons (mute the commercials, of course). We'll wrestle on the floor and eat donuts or pecan rolls. Afterwards, we'll go over the river and through the woods to … the Wilson Thanksgiving.
The day after, we'll go to the mall and drink in the Christmas sights and sounds as we are crushed by the masses of people. Then—oh boy, I can hardly wait—on the weekend, we'll go cut down our Christmas tree.
You want a great piece of advice, Dad? Take you family to cut down a real live Christmas tree this year. If you have an artificial tree, give it the year off and get a real one. You can bet it will be a whole bunch uglier, but you'll make a ton of memories going to get it.
Gotta go! There's first snowfall "stuff" to do. Have a great Thanksgiving with your family!
You 'da dad!
