As children, it's often all about what they get. The hottest toy, video game or favorite outfit.
But sometimes, it's about the gift you can give. Finding the perfect thing for your mom, or your sweetie. Or giving something to someone who really needed the help.
Share photos of Christmas morning smiles by uploading one to our gallery, and tell us your stories of great gifts in the comments.
Merry Christmas to you and your families from all of us at Patch!
Protesters don't damage the State Capitol, private contractors do after the long-time state union employees with vast experience in maintaining the expensive marble floors are fired. How much will it cost to fix the floors, which could have been avoided by not bringing in contractors? I also understand most of the damage to the Capitol was from media networks taping cords to the marble floor and leaving residue. Scott Walker, "Conservative" of the Year. Merry Christmas.
I don't think your attempts to goad someone into a heated discussion on a blog celebrating the joy of Christmas is going to work. I feel sorry that you can't find a reason to celebrate, and instead must convey the gloom that has taken over your heart. Merry Christmas, and may you find reasons to celebrate in 2013.
