Merry Christmas (or appropriate greeting of good cheer according to your beliefs)

Well, another year almost gone by.  Here I am, working yet another Christmas.  Not so bad though, it lets the people with kids have the day off, it will be nice if they return the favor a few years down the road!  It's also normally a slow day here in the office (unless you get a snow storm that buries most of the state under a foot or so of snow, but that isn't even remotely likely this year).  So, I'll spend the day listening to Trans-Siberian Orchestra and looking for things to keep me busy until 3PM.  Then I get to go visit my family at my father's house and do the whole holiday thing. 

To all of you, have a Merry Christmas and a great holiday season!

QotD: Books From My Childhood

What books did you love as a child? 
Submitted by hearts


I had a few favorites that I would read over and over when I was young.  Sadly I cannot remember the titles.  One was about a steam shove that did it's last job too well and it got itself stuck in the hole it dug.  All ended well for the big guy, he got a nice cushy job as the heating system in the building that was being built there.  Beyond that, just about anything by Doctor Seuss or featuring Curious George held my attention early on in my life.  Even now I enjoy sitting down with my nephew and reading Doctor Seuss books.  I hope to pass the love of reading onto my own children one day as well.
