Only Nice Guys Sing Christmas Classics

**Christmas music is playing on Pandora and a classic carol came on.**

Jacob: Mom, who is singing this?

Me: I'm not sure honey, but it sounds like a country singer. . . . I'm gonna guess its Randy Travis.

Sophie, from across the room: (emphatically) MOM! This is not Travis. . . . This is a nice guy.

Ho ho ho and he he he!

Christmas Wishin'

Today,Jacob said in a sincere and eager voice, full of confidence and hope: Mom, if we all pitch in our money and if we ask his parents first, can we give Elliot a dog for Christmas?

I tried to let him down easy.
