Well...it's all over. All of the fanfare. All of the secrets. All of the paper and tags and bows. They all lead up to this one magical day. The day when we find out the results of our homework assignement for the past year to "be good". Come christmas morning the results of our homework are directly reflected in what the our test giver (Santa) has left under our tree.
I myself did not do as good as I have in years gone by, as I'm sure Wendi will attest. I partially blame UDOT for the last half of the year. It turns out I don't react well to long-term road construction...who knew?
Wouldn't it be nice if all aspects of our lives were graded in such a way? Nobody would ask eachother how they performed but rather wait for the gift(s) under the three to let them know. Paychecks from our jobs would reflect a different amount depending on how well one did thier job. Spousal arguments would be replaced with gifts of coal or macaroni sculptures of them getting the silent treatment.
Yep, if only Santa could be in charge of the good/bad thing all year round. Then we would see some change around here.
The possibilities boggle my mind. Some days this would be very bad for me. I like Christ giving me a break when I need it the most.
