My Christmas Wish List

Here's what I got for Christmas:
1. A two-week vacation.
2. Snow, which I wasn't exactly thrilled about.
3. The chance to shake a boy's hand who had always wanted to meet a "real soldier." I didn't mention that I was in the band.
4. Wake up every morning next to my wife.
5. See the faces of two kids light up on Christmas morning when they got just what they wanted.
6. See the face of my wife light up when she joined the 21st century.
7. Watched a brand new Disney animated musical with my kids. A dream that I thought would never come true.
8. Chocolate-covered rice crispy treats.
9. A head cold.
10. A reminder of what and who I want to be.
