    I spent many winter vacations with my grandparents…They were smart as can be, Grandma would turn the clock above the tv up an hour, we would watch the ball drop in NY and grandma would say “OK it’s midnight, time for bed” It was years later that I found out her trick.

    Oh, Mike, not every “special” day needs a present. BUT always live in the present, move on from the past, and think about the future.

    Pity Michael wasn’t born in the olden days. That was a time when New Year’s Day really WAS the day for gift-giving among adults (and I think it’s still done that way in France.)

    Yeah, most kids think that a special days mean they get a present. They just need to compare it to something like Independence Day where the celebrating is the excitement of the holiday.

    I’m guessing this must be the first time Michael has ever been able, or allowed, to stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve. I wonder what anybody has ever said or done that gave him the impression that he was supposed to get presents for this day too … especially so soon after Christmas?!?

    Actually, Mike, it is a conspiracy, the presents happen when you aren’t around. The gifts to the legal system for a fine old drunk time, to the hospital for just lying around … ending at the undertaker for a young life interrupted.

    PLEASE EVERYBODY, have a SAFE AND SANE New Year that will enable you to have many more without guilt!

    legaleagle48 - today is only the 6th day of Christmas … in the Church the 12 days start on December 25th, and go until January 5th.

    I know that, AllanV. I was specifically referencing the old custom of gift-giving among adults on New Year’s Day, not Epiphany. One has nothing to do with the other.
