But, I'm capturing the Christmas magic through the eyes of my kids, and I'm feeling more jolly and blessed every minute. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!   In the Spotlight It's Not Too Late to Teach Holiday Table Manners Sit still. Don't talk with your mouth full. Don't double dip.
