You wait all year hoping for an awesome gift and on the Christmas of your 12th birthday you get socks and a pack of handkerchiefs AND they tell you Santa doesn't exist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425667772673267769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-26479894657920511382011-12-21T07:10:43.955-08:002011-12-21T07:10:43.955-08:00I remember your father's name and his photogra...I remember your father's name and his photographs well, Jim.

The Cracker Barrel chain sells it. I looked for you, but unfortunately there is no Cracker Barrel in California. :( I put the bottle in the fridge days ago and have been patiently waiting for the right time or the right snack to try it out with. I've yet to come up with what that might be, and I'll gladly take suggestions.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780214989371447483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-86851333309777944452011-12-18T19:31:12.960-08:002011-12-18T19:31:12.960-08:00nice, heartfelt post... :Dnice, heartfelt post... :Ddanneromerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268830006681589842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-76350980556029844812011-12-18T18:12:04.424-08:002011-12-18T18:12:04.424-08:00Your post is so true!

It made it all that much more special that we had to wait for it.<br /><br />I think that's why kids of today are constantly bored. When I read the stream on my facebook from all my various young nieces/nephews/cousins the one constant is "I'm bored hmu" They are so used to instant gratification that they don't even know how to entertain themselves. <br /><br />We used to read, ride our bikes, play school, do jigsaw puzzles with my mom.<br /><br />I never remember being bored.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-9699074888457532662011-12-18T15:21:52.073-08:002011-12-18T15:21:52.073-08:00So wonderfully written.
