I chose this gift on the 7th day of Christmas because I could eat this seven days a week! Cheesesteak and fries for Christmas anybody?

A few years ago my sister and nephew invited me to indoor “skydiving” at iFly. I couldn’t make the trip. I can now….how ’bout it family?

Man, the days went by so fast I didn’t have a chance to keep my gift list going. Let’s see if I can get nine gifts together in one day.

Here’s a good start. PreSonus Studio One Sphere membership is a good gift for anyone on any day.

I hear myself breathing, restless with no creative thoughts, all the while trying to slow my mind.

Yet the instance that I close my eyes and count the time, darkness awakens me, closing from behind.

Sounds, whispered in the air, speak beauty in the hopelessness, I wonder but where.

So much of everything to do and to say, so much thought gone awry, proving the soul of my conscience to be uncommonly bare.

There, in that space, in that time, in that place, hands cry out, empty, no feeling to spare.

Restless, motionless, continually moving, with no wonder at all of the cost or how much the fare.

I happen to be the only “Android” in a family full of “iSnobs”. I don’t make movies or many social media videos. In fact, I actually use my phone to talk more than anything else. But, could I be choosin’…….?

P.S. Do I want my family to be able to FaceTime me at moments notice? Let me think about that……..

Speaking of gadgets and upgrades a new phone would be a nice surprise. I use maybe 30 percent of the capabilities of my S10 Plus. So, after doing the math, I probably would utilize 25 percent of the capabilities of the S21. But, remember that cell phones are the new practical and essential. We need these in our lives!

Even though I don’t live on the cutting edge of technology I do like new gadgets. Here is a idea:

I could use an upgrade from “my” JBL Charge 3 that other people like to “use”…….

Thirteen days of Christmas? Thirteen nights of sleep……..

I live a simple, working – class lifestyle. Having a garage bigger than my house makes no practical sense at all. However, I now have a household that includes four cars and two motorcycles. Who knew? My house has a two-car garage. Believe me I’m grateful for this garage. I never imagined I’d have my own garage when I was a youngster growing up.

That being said, my garage now houses things that should be in the house. My wife’s car is the only one in the garage. Myself and my sons park in the driveway. It would be nice to have room to sit in the garage and imagine the space being occupied by all of my Christmas wishes.

Speaking of Christmas wishes, for Day 14 I want this 5 car garage. One for everybody’s car and one for the motorcycles. And, if the matching house happens to be attached to it I would consider it a bonus. Thank you Santa!

My wife always says that I need to relax more. One of the best gifts she gave me to help relax was a full body massage at her favorite spa. Imagine showing up at the spa and one of these pairs of hands is ready to greet you…..or if both pairs were ready to greet you! I’m already relaxed just thinking about it. Hello ladies……😊
