@JonathanTamari I find it fun as a viewer. In any “championship” the losers leave quickly. Olympics, they get to sit and dwell on it and can’t go anywhere. You get to see all the emotions!!!
@JimEltringham@FitbitSupport I’ve had a garmin venu 3 for a few years. Absolutely zero issues and I wear it 24/7 and charge once every 5-7 days for like an hour while at my desk working. Strongly recommended.
I was 9 or 10 when I found this photo.
It was after my little brother went to sleep. I was browsing old photos in my living room while my Mom did Bible study in the kitchen.
I remember thinking it was odd that Santa was wearing safety goggles while holding me.
I then wondered why my house was the only one where Santa came inside on Christmas Eve. None of my friends had ever shared a story like that.
And then I looked close at the eyes.
My brain said “ENHANCE” like in a spy movie.
I looked even closer.
“ENHANCE”
I saw it so clearly.
Those were my Dad’s eyes. I knew it was him. I was sure of it.
I’d cracked the code. The thousand year old mystery that had plagued all children. For a millennia we’ve asked, “How does Santa make it all the way around the world in a night?”
I’d finally answered it.
I went and asked my Mom to confirm what I’d uncovered. She didn’t mislead me. She gave me a hug and told me what I now knew: that Santa was real and he lived with me year-round.
That night I learned Santa doesn’t vanish when you figure it out. He multiplies.
He lives in the love and sacrifice of all parents. In the lengths they go to make our dreams feel effortless. In the quiet work done late at night so joy can arrive on time.
Santa doesn’t “go away” when you discover the truth.
Your appreciation for him only grows.
It grows as you understand what it costs and as you recognize the tired eyes, the sore backs, the careful planning.
And if you’re lucky, one day you realize you’ve become him too.
He was real then.
He’s real now.
He just keeps showing up, and occasionally wearing safety goggles if that’s all he’s got when it’s time to drop off presents.
Merry Christmas to all the Santa Clauses out there.

If you hated Biden because you didn’t want an old guy in charge and prices were too high and the government was too involved in the private sector and there was chaos on the street oh boy I’ve got bad news.
