    For reasons that I do not care to elaborate on, I have never been a huge fan of Christmas since I was a child. Since I met my wife back in 2004, I have been better but this year has been especially different and I hope the start of a new love for the holidays.

    My wife gave birth to our daughter on 12/14/2012 and it has really had a profound change on me. I have two older children as well (15 and 12) and it has made me reevaluate how I need to be as a father.

    She was born the same day as the Sandy Hook tragedy and I didn't find out about it until the next day. After such an emotional day that news hit me really, really hard. I kept thinking about those parents and how in the past they had a wonderfully, beautiful day when their babies were born. How they to had so much hope and love and pride for their little ones. How all they wanted to do was hold them and protect them and watch them become something special. And then to know what happened that fateful day. I physically broke down. In our hospital room I literally crumpled to the floor crying. My wife came and held me.

    There are too many things that just aren't that important. My wife, my babies, and our friends and family definitely are. Christmas is a time to celebrate that and I fully intend on doing just that.

    Clutchfans is a network of people that I consider my friends and I appreciate you. Thank you Dave, Jeff, and all of the rest of the guys that make this place happen. As a Christmas gift to all of you, I will be making a substantial tip jar donation as soon as I am done submitting this post. If you are thankful for this place also, I welcome you to do the same.

    Merry Christmas Clutchfans from our family!

    Merry Xmas to you too and thanks for the videos but you might want to spoiler those. I noticed a few times Caleb Followil's wife hand's aren't that big or that accurate about where she is covering up.

    Merry Christmas to everyone!

    Got Rockets tickets for Christmas from a family member. I still haven't gotten to go to a game (made plans many times and they always fall through). I'm finally for sure going to get to go now. I am very excited :grin:

    awww, congratulations Master Baiter! :) That is the best kind of Christmas present.

    seems like just yesterday my son was a tiny cuddle bug.... now he's getting into everything, just in time for his first Christmas. They are precious.

    I hope everyone had a great Christmas out in Clutchfans land. Those of you around Dallas (or Arkansas for that matter), be very careful in this weather.
