Thanks for starting this thread. I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the happiest, healthiest New Year possible under our varied circumstances.

Our youngest son (13) was adopted from Guatemala as an infant, and is a pure blooded Mayan. We have been teasing him that we didn't get him any presents since the world was going to end and it was the Mayans' fault. He doesn't believe this for a minute of course, since as the youngest and the one who still wants toys he gets the lion's share of presents, but we all had a little scare yesterday when the lights went out for absolutely no reason. We could still see lights in the development behind us, though, and they came on in about 15 minutes.

Since my pain is under better control, I too am glad to wake up this morning, and every morning.

Happy holidays to you all. This is a great forum, thanks to everyone.
