kids

The true art of the snowball fight is a lost cause in America. While the white stuff piles up across the Capital Region most kids sit inside playing Xbox or PS3 , or Wii Bowling. When I was a kid we knew how to throw a snowball.

Yesterday, when my sixteen year old son came home from school, I asked him the ever annoying, and almost rhetorical question. "How was school today?"  After the obligatory, "fine."  I thought maybe a follow up question would be a nice touch.

My twelve year old son wants a "Droid" Cell Phone for Christmas. I said, "Really Son? That is a pretty big thing to wish for." He replied with a smirk, "Not really cus I still believe in Santa Claus."

These youngsters would be adorable on their own—seriously, what's cuter than a two-year-old baby holding a newborn baby? That's basically twice the cute for the price of one. Can't get much cuter than that. Right? Wrong. Don the kids in Santa hats and little puffy white beards and it's not just cute—it's Christmas gallery material...
