we've noticed the two boys have an odd phrase they drop at random moments, often followed with laughs and giggles; "yum, yum, yum, PICKLES!"
then, about a month ago, the wife and I were going through school papers. kat appreciates checking in on their assignments this way, she struck gold. we found that #1 son had chosen a pickle theme to his work... (below) "get me some pickles now!"

"hey Joe buy me a pickle cannon! This food is horrible! but look at that pickle!"
it was a rather serendipitous moment, we knew then and there what this year's holiday portrait theme should be. pickles.
so, merry christmas, xmas, Hanukka, kwanza, festivus or whatever you choose to celebrate this holiday season. we have christmas, if you don't, that's ok by me. I'm not one for telling other people what to think, follow or believe. I expect other people to respect the beliefs or non-beliefs of others. that is what this country was really founded on.
go be merry, do good deeds and don't have your pleasure/joy come at the expense of others. after all, that is what Jesus would have wanted for his birthday.
