The Holiday Spirit

Lest our regular readers think that The Great Mitten Incident of 2009 (see below) presents the full picture of Jack's character ...

Monday nights are big at the Mershon household -- it's trash night! Jack loves to help me take the garbage and the recycling down to the end of the street -- almost as much as he loves watching the trucks come by on Tuesday mornings.

After several years of loving use (read: tons of diapers), our trash can is giving up the ghost. It's missing one handle and the other one is about to go.

This Monday I was muttering to myself about how much I needed to get a new one.

Jack paused for a moment, and then looked up at me: "O.K., Daddy - I'll ask Santa to bring you a new trash can for Christmas!"

Look at our little guy - offering up one of his precious Santa-wishes for Dear Ole' Dad!

And Santa, if you're reading this -- I expect to see something under the tree.
