| 3211 | Article | NLogan | The important thing Tony, is that you made the effort and didn't deprive your children visiting their grandmother. Your wife is worth way more than her weight in gold and she was right (they usually are, don't tell mine I said that). My parents and my wife's parents are divorced. There have been plenty of awkward get togethers. But if they wanted to see the grandchildren they had to at least be civil to make it work being in the same room together. My mom and dad are now good friends, but it wasn't always so. My wife's parents have a ways to go but at least are no longer being juvenile and petty. It is hard when people feel deprived of their most precious things in the world their own children, whether in decision making or just quality time. That is the magic of Christmas however, the season brings people closer together. | Dec 13, 2015 |  | |

| 3208 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's a cliché, but an accurate one - "You don't know what you have, until it's gone." This hits very close to home for me. My relationship with my mom after my parents divorced was strained. There were a lot of things at play there, but it amounted to feeling unappreciated. So, by the time I became a parent, that relationship was almost non-existent. My wife actually convinced me to make things better, putting aside the past and forging ahead. So going to visit her with my wife and kids was an awkward and nervous affair. I was always glad to be leaving more so than anything else. Now that she is gone, I feel like I would give most anything for one more of those awkward Christmas visits. | Bah Humbug! | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3207 | Article | Vaporman87 | I am reminded of a similar tale from our very own fuschnikt from last year, 1990 - The Year Santa Died. I enjoy these stories of that final year that we actually believed. And, instead of feeling a tremendous sense of disappointment, we instead come to appreciate the efforts of the "real" Santas. Here, it seems it took little more than a sticker to "open your eyes". I'm guessing you already had your suspicions before that moment, being so easily swayed. Would that be an accurate assumption? | Operation Santa | Dec 13, 2015 | |

| 3205 | Article | mickyarber | Very good read. I always like it to hear stories of when kids realize who the real "Santa" is, and especially stories where you can feel the heartfelt gratitude coming through for him just like in this story. Good job. | Operation Santa | Dec 13, 2015 | |

| 3200 | Article | vkimo | Get me a ticket on that time machine too! I like the tradition of taking your daughters gift shopping on separate days. My daughter is 1, so might be a few years. @Vapor I have XM as well and have channe 13 Holly and 18 X Mas Traditions, are they any different? | How I Remember Christmas | Dec 12, 2015 | |
