Tooth Fairy: How Much is Too Much?
A daughter of this couple we are friends with lost her first tooth recently. At 4 1/2, our son is going to be experiencing this soon, and we started talking about how much we got from the Tooth Fairy and how much the Tooth Fairy will give our son. She gave this girl $5 for her first tooth and $1 for the second.Dwayne Johnson swings into action as “The Tooth Fairy”

Your Holiday Story....
We had all had those holidays which stand out in our memories. It may be a fabulous memory which makes us all warm and fuzzy inside, to be compared to every future memory and be measured by it. We all have those holiday memories we'd like to forget---like the year both my Mom and my Aunt felt they had to be the one cooking the turkey and my Mom's turkey imploded. (Seriously...it became a heap of bones and the meat sort of disintegrated)
As children we had ideas about sugar plums just as much as we anticipated the tooth fairy...probably more. Later in life as we married and somehow combined families, and our family traditions changed. We created new memories together. We have had that gift we thought was going to rock someone's world which turned out to be as exciting as a flat tire.
There are those of us that prayed, pleaded, and made deals with God (or whoever else was listening) to just this one time....get that one thing or to be able to give that one great thing which would change our relationship with someone.
Of course there are also those times when we all thought "What the heck was this person thinking" when we opened a gift which astounded us. An example of this was someone close to me, her mother-in-law gave her a retractable clothesline one year, a sink hair strainer the next, and it just went even further down hill after that. (I am not kidding) And yes, we try to remember holiday seasons are about giving, not receiving....but still "What the heck!"

Scientific Pretense vs. Democracy By Angelo M. Codevilla “We will restore science to its rightful place…” —Barack Obama Unpacked, this sentence means: “Under my administration, Americans will have fewer choices about how they live, and fewer choices as voters because, rightfully, those choices should be made by officials who rule by the authority of science.” Thus our new president intends to accelerate a trend a half-century old in America but older and further advanced in the rest of the world.Video Games I LOVE (long blog)
