Yes I believe! My grandparents were big on Christmas especially my grandfather. When they passed I lost some of the joy but becoming a grandparent has reignited the joy. My wife will probably say I'm a scrooge because I complain about the lights and shopping. I love the lights but hate putting them up. She always has ideas and adding lights every year but never helps with put up or take down. As for shopping. I don't mind the first few hours but when it goes to 7 hours plus .....

RJ, your wife no doubt knows that she can count on you for putting the lights up and taking them down. It's called a happy marriage.

This thread reminds of the centerline theme of the Polar Express book and movie. It comes down to one simple word, BELIEVE.
What a shame it would be if we all stopped believing in something good. I feel sorry for those who no longer hear the bell. It never stops ringing here.

LOL my wife is the exact opposite. No decorations, no tree, no spirit... and the only outdoor lights outside is the front porch light … she calls it the North Star.

John, me thinks that Santa should pay a special visit to your home. I will talk to him today about this. Just maybe he can help.

There are far too many Scrooges in this world, Vince, but fortunately they aren't members of the OGF.
