I take a bowl of brown sugar and dump ice cold water over it.






It makes me happy.

One of my favorites is actually telling the annual tradition of a close friend of mine.

My friend is Jewish. He and his family have been in the garment business for years here. (Big suprise, huh?) It all began a few years back when someone of non-jewish faith asked my friend if he celebrated Christmas? He said absolutely! "Every Christmas Eve around 5pm we come together at our store, hold hands and total out the cash register receipts while singing "What a Friend We Have In Jesus." -True Story-
