So I found a package under the tree today: "To Dad, From Jesus"
Most of the kids were there at the time when the daughter pointed out this package to me. She thought it was pretty funny. I commented that it would probably be a pretty humble gift because Jesus never had much money.

My 20-year-old son, who has never suffered from a lack of humor, immediately chimed in: "You shouldn't expect a gift at all. It's his birthday, after all, not yours. It's probably a goodie bag."


:rofl:

2. I picked him up at the airport Friday night, and the flight was 3 hours late.
I didn't mind. I revel in his company so much that driving home while chatting is always a joy -- even at 1 am.

4. It's probably one of those lame homemade certificates
You know the kind: "I, Jesus, do hereby promise one miserable death for your sins. To be delivered sometime in Spring."

5. The greatest gift you can give your children is a good sense of humor
That, or a Lexus.

6. I won't take credit for his sense of humor, but I did give him a Saturn.
... and it only had 115,000 miles on it.

7. I passed a bank today with a sign that said "Jesus Saves".
Certainly a good sign that our hispanic friends have substantial reserves.

11. I went past a nativity scene this morning in which all the usual folks were holding watch over
a snow drift. Kinda windy with light fluffy snow yesterday.

8. Tell your son "Maybe Jesus was a fan of Bilbo Baggins"
on his Eleventeenth birthday ...

"To Dad, From Jesus"

Happy Holidays to you and your family. Sounds like you will be having a very nice Christmas.

10. That is interesting.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not God, so I'm guessing the present really isn't from Jesus.

That's pretty disappointing.
