GTIL: My last day in Paris is blanketed in fresh snow, but its going to hold off at home until I'm safely home

[cmyX6go]

Spreading Christmas cheer everwhere I go, wearing my Santa hat.

Spending Christmas morning with my nieces and nephews, especially Isabella who is 5. It's great being with children that still believe in Santa Claus on Christmas morning.

It's XMAS here in Australia, don't you know we're backwards?

Even our toilets swirl the other way.

1) Sitting with my 6-year old son right at the plexiglass at the Prudential Center, as Alex Ovechkin and Zach Parise crash into the boards six inches in front of our faces.

2) Going to the gym and bench pressing more than the roid-heads with over-inflated muscles but no functional strength.

3) That 3-second window on a Saturday morning when you wake up in a panic at 7 AM thinking you're late for work, and then 2 seconds later you realize it's actually Saturday and you can sleep in....When that realization sets in....pure bliss....

Saying "Xmas" is perfectly fine: Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1:18-2:12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1:26-56). Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas, then known as the Feast of the Nativity, as early as 336 ad. The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse, meaning “festival of Christ.” Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. The X stands for the Greek letter chi, an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ), and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified.
