One Week To Go!!!!

Can you even believe it? One week 'til Christmas Eve! I can't even tell you how excited I am. I'm about over my little cough and congestion problem, I've finished my cards, I'm trying to find time to wrap presents and there's still a lot of holiday parties to get to.

Today, Mom's gonna try to get me into private chit-chat with the big man himself - Santa Claus. I gotta lot to tell him. And, a lot more to ask him about.

I even dressed up for him. I've gotta hunch that he's gonna like me quite a bit. It will be, afterall, our first face-to-face meeting. For good measure, Mom suggested we bring him some cookies. Dad gave me a flask and said, "Tell 'em to have a nip or two of this also...trust me boy, it works." Whatever Pops.

I hope your holiday season is great this year. I'm sure I'll be posting here and there as often as possible throughout the season - but, if not, my very best to you and your families for a great one. We gotta lot to be thankful for. But, we also gotta remember the other little kids and folks who don't have it so good. So, I suggest the following...

Make a Wish Foundation
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sangamon County
St. Jude Research Hospital
And, for all my family's friends in the deaf community - The National Deaf Children's Society

If you don't like my suggestions, feel free to wander this site: Charity Guide

Either way, give a little bit to the charitable cause of your choice sometime within the next year. As you know, tough times don't have a season.

Love,
Lucas (and his Mom and Dad.....and Chicken the Wonder Cat too)
