If I had two wishes...
Steve Martin's Christmas Wish was posted last year.
Here is the video.
If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season... classic.

Just a perfect Christmas
You would have had to be here to appreciate it, but just perfect.
Highlight - Emily told me that she knew my present was to spend time with my family. And she was right. Best gift I have ever received.
I am blessed and I know it. Happy marriage to a wonderful person and two great kids. That other aspects of my life are not Norman Rockwell painting material is not really a bother to me. The good outweighs the bad.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

A great Christmas movie
About a week ago, Julie and the kids were stopped at an intersection. A log truck was in the lane next to them. Emily glanced over and said to no one in particular "lot of sap in there."
We have been singing Christmas songs with the kids while in the car. Today, Julie heard Emily singing and suddenly stop. Her last words were "take it, Russ."
It is moments like this when you know you have been exposing your children to quality entertainment. It is one of our favorite Christmas movies and we tried to watch it today after church. Nap time cut us off early.

A Christmas Wish
As a man who lives in appreciation of his blessings everyday, I have little to want for. I have a wonderful wife and two precious children. I honestly have asked my wife to not get me anything this year but some time with my family.
But, I giggle every time I think of this sketch monologue by Steve Martin on SNL. My wife and I can make each other laugh by saying "If I had two wishes..."
Here it is:
If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.
You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe.
And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids.
Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas.
If you had one holiday wish, what would it be? If you had two holiday wishes?
