Of Christmas Past

I remember;
The Christmas when I got my first big kids bike. Probably the bestest present ever. Lasted for years. But it was that year that I happened to see it a day or 2 before Christmas was here. I found out who Santa was.
I remember;
Christmas in Vietnam. Was supposed to be home for Christmas but got held over for 30 days more.
I remember;
My 1st childs 1st Christmas. The 3 of us, JOKER - MOM- and Star. Not much under the tree for we both worked and I was going to college.
I Remember:
Calling the inlaws 200 miles away wishing them a Merry Christmas, then jumping in the car to go there. Along the way a broken down car in a snow storm with a family of 4. We squeezed them in with us and dropped them off at their destination before arriving at my inlaws. Still get a card 25 + years later.
I remember;
I really do remember them all but this one now almost past is the one I remember most. My wife, children and grand children opening the presents around the tree. The sparkle of their eyes and the smile on their lips said it all. And for me I really understand, Santa did not leave with the discovery of the bike. He's been here all along inside a little part of me.
To you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Properous New Year.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
