Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I'll admit that I have never looked forward to Christmas. It's about the hectic scramble to buy enough gifts for everyone, the worry that someone may have been given the wrong gift and the guilt that so many can't afford a Christmas for their children.

As with everything in my current life, Christmas was very different this year.  My son Benny, his wife, Greer and my daughter, Sarah came to Seattle just to visit. My son David left not long ago after a month long visit.  We visited their grandmothers and they prepared fantastic food. 

Christmas has always been about the children.  This year, they made Christmas about their dad, (me). They have all given me more support than I deserve. So have my friends and family as well my students  who are really just younger friends. It's been a wonderful Christmas. I hope the same for everyone. 

Merry Christmas
