Christmas is about family not presents.

That's why we need to live life backwards. Live like a kid when we are old and let the kids worry about getting old when they are young. It works out in the long run.

Vern C from Murray Utah, September 1, 2010

Good quote, indeed! Time does fly when you're having fun--and crawls when times are not so kind. Also, as we grow older, time flies faster--a month to a 7-year-old seems like 2 days to a 454-year-old!
