It is funny how what is under the tree on Christmas morning can tell you where you are in your life. From baby clothes to toys to bats, gloves, video games, golf clubs, guns and back to clothes and baby clothes.
I used to get so excited to see my boys open up that package and see their eyes when that new glove was found inside. Or when I tried to find a way to wrap that new bat so it didn't look like a bat before they opened it.
Now I am in that stage where I am buying toy's again but now for my precious grand daughters. But I still love buying those unique and special gifts for my two son's just to see the look on their face when they open them.
It never fails when I am sitting there in my chair I always stack my gifts to the side and quite honestly could careless what is in the box. I want my full attention on watching everyone else open their gifts. It never fails my mind wanders back to a time when an A2000 or a nice bat was about to be revealed. Great memories.
But time moves on and new memories are made. And a different time in your life opens up new things under the tree. New memories to be made and new things to give. Yesterday I came home to find a package left outside my garage by UPS. I could tell from the package it was a bat. But this time it was for me. My son had sent me a new fungo for Christmas. Merry Christmas Dad! So Bob I have two brand new fungo's now!
I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. I hope you get to spend time with the one's you love and enjoy those memories together. I hope that no matter where you are in your life what's under that tree brings joy and lasting memories.
Merry Christmas.
