This post originally ran on my blog in 2009 and was printed before that in the weekly humor column I wrote for The Plano Star-Courier eons ago. It’s always fun to bring these columns back for new readers to enjoy. The day after Christmas was usually one of the best and one of the worst
Due to some problems with my neck, I have not been able to write out Holiday cards this year, so I am sharing this with my family and friends with my best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and many blessings in the New Year. For those of you reading this who do not celebrate
