Christmas, My Favorite Time of the Year
Ahh, Christmas draws near. It's my favorite holiday of the year. As a kid, this whole time of year held a certain allure for me. Imagine, first came Halloween; the carnival of candy and all things spooky. The next thing I knew, here comes Thanksgiving. Lots of chow and no school!
Then came Christmas. All those gifts, and again, no school! Some of my elementary school buddies were Jewish. Not only did they get presents and great chow over the Chanukah holiday; they celebrated Christmas as well, and got more gifts and chow. I remember thinking, “Oh now I get it, that's why the preacher said the Jews were God's chosen people.”

In the spirit of the season, I've posted three articles for you recently; Christmas, the Holidays, and DIY; DIY Hand Tool Ideas; and DIY Power Tool Ideas. (The second and third are hint articles for your significant other.) I'll try to crank out one or two more – email me with any ideas.
