What do you want for Christmas? When I was young, my dad would say that all he wanted for Christmas was a smile and a few kind words. Back then, I thought that was pretty silly. I certainly wanted more than a smile and a few kind words. But over the years, I have come to appreciate Dad's simple request. Presents and pretty packages are nice and who can't use one more this or that? Even so, a smile and a few kind words are never unwanted or unappreciated. Thinking about that today got me wondering.
