Be Merry & Enjoy the Magic a Little Longer (please)

*Christmas Morning 2011*

This could very well be the last Christmas that Evan believes in the magic of Santa.  I suspect he won't be willing to overlook the space-time continuum thing much longer in regards to Santa's ability to deliver billions of presents around the world in one night.

I'm thunderstruck?

It's interesting the things I miss since moving North.

I miss thunder.  We had thunderstorms yesterday.  I can't remember the last time I heard thunder.  We get lots of rain in Western Pennsylvania, but now that I have stopped to think about it... we get very little thunder and lightning.  I found the sound of yesterday's thunder oddly comforting.
