The Worst Christmas Ever

Hello, my name is Dave and I'm having the worst Christmas ever!

Well, it's not the worst but it's pretty bad.  Actually, now that I think about it though there are probably plenty of people in the world that are having a lot worse ones than I'm having.

Here's my situation. 

Family (6 hours away in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area) + REALLY BAD WINTER STORM in between = Not getting there this year.

Two years ago I litteraly almost died trying to get there on Christmas and don't really want a repeat of that.

But, it could always be worse.

Like I might've ended up

• A homeless man with no food and without a warm place to sleep.
• A soldier standing guard in Afghanistan or Iraq.
• With no family at all.
• DEAD!

So, in the long run while I'm gorging myself on Pizza and other disease free food in my warm, dry apartment watching this or that marathon on TV, I should be very thankful for what I have!

P.S.  Follow me as I have quite the unusual holiday here on this blog or via Twitter.  www.twitter.com/dangerousdaven
