Sitting in the woods for a little while before we head off to church and then the in-laws to celebrate Christmas.
This is primarily directed towards the "younger" crowd. Don't be a sour puss today and tomorrow when you're "forced" to go to family get togethers.
I have 6 mounted deer heads,at least 2 dozen guns,a 4-wheeler,200+ steel traps and gobs of other toys. I would WITHOUT HESITATION trade all of them for just 1 more Christmas with Mom,Dad and my grandparents!
A Big 10 pointer? A banded mallard? PUFT! BIG DEAL! These will always be around,your loved ones WILL NOT BE!
Don't lose sight on what REALLY matters,embrace the holiday season and enjoy your family! Most importantly,don't forget Jesus is the reason for the season!
Merry Christmas to all!

Very well stated and absolutely right. Thanks for posting your thoughts. I have four generations here from ages 4 to 93 for Christmas. Four generations. I could never replace the joy of this collection of family. What's really nice is that they run me out of the house to walk out to my blind for a spell. Wait a minute. How should I take that?
Merry Christmas!

I agree 110%. My uncle just passed away. He owned the property I learned to deer hunt on. I had not seen him since I moved away 11 years ago...kind of a hard thing to take. Enjoy your family.

I too would give up all my toys for Christmas with Mom and Dad. Dad never got to meet my kids and they did not get to know him.

My parents are still with us, but my Dad has Alzheimers and my kids never got to know the man that raised me. He can't take my kids fishing or teach them woodworking. For a man that couldn't sit down while I was growing up, now all he does is sit around and watch TV. The medicines have done a great job slowing the disease, but he will never be the same.
Also, I was just really getting to the age I could appreciate my uncles and their knowledge when we started losing them.
