I ever got was given to me this morning at Jazzercise.

We were all done and gathering our things up. I'm dripping with sweat after a great workout when one of the little guys (his name is Zane) I babysit for comes up and gives me a huge hug and says, "Mewwy Chwithmath." He had a huge smile on his face and his eyes were bright and twinkling. What a charmer.

That right there is the meaning of Christmas. All those people out there in the stores are missing the boat. Zane had nothing to give but himself and he gave it to me without a second thought. He didn't care that I didn't have any candy for him or that I was smelly and sweaty or that I was a girl.

I hope everyone here and around the world gets a gift as great as this one this year. Lifted my spirits and gave me a little holiday cheer.

Just thought I'd share.
