As the holiday season comes upon us, I am reflecting on how things are different from when we were children. One of the most obvious can be illustrated by what we can expect to happen. When we were children and lost a tooth. We put it under the pillow. Some time during the night, the "Tooth Fairy" would come along and leave us money. Now the holidays are here and the things we enjoy most have changed. Now we can expect to eat a good meal and later to bed. Then the magic occurs. Sometime during the night the "Fat Fairy" comes by and throws on an extra five pounds. At any rate, from the HINDS house to yours, may this be a very good holiday season, and have the best year yet.
