'Tis The Season

The annual kick-off to the holiday season begins today. Not Black Friday. Not Cyber Monday. Not with the changing of radio stations to 24/7 Christmas tunes, 4 weeks ago. Today is the day that I start reading Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol. It is an annual event. I enjoy reading this classic every time. It never gets old. It really serves as the gateway to the holiday season for me. I hope the boys develop their own traditions, similar to this. We have one amongst ourselves. Each Christmas Eve, we read T'was the Night Before Christmas. I always look forward to that as well.
