Among all the negativity, all the divisiveness and all of the lack of respect for our fellow man, it’s time to take a time out and reflect on what is truly precious to us.

My father grew up in a family where affection was shown with stuff: your favorite food on every visit home, another what-not to set on a shelf and gather dust with all the others, outfits that you wouldn’t be caught dead in on the street.

In the 1974 TV movie “A Year Without a Santa Claus,” Santa gets a head cold and decides to cancel his annual Christmas Eve run.

If you’ve followed my plight over the past couple of weeks, you know that last week I still hadn’t bought Christmas gifts for anybody. Thankfully, I was able to speed buy gifts and get them wrapped up before doing Christmas with my fiancee’s family this past weekend.
