Aw, that's beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could do something like that for my parents.

IMLTHO would have been better if he spelled "Christ...mas" or shape the x more like a cross...

Wow. What an incredibly wise and grateful son.

@Dave J: Xmas has a longer pedigree than you might think, and it's not meant to "take Christ out of Christmas". Specifically, the "X", the Greek Chi, is the first letter of Χριστός (Christos), or Christ. The first two letters of Christos, the Chi and the Rho, are an ancient symbol of Jesus (the labarum), going back to the earliest days of Christianity, when Greek was the lingua franca of the Roman Empire. It was most likely the labarum that Constantine had inscribed on the shields of his soldiers before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in AD 312, in following the vision in which he was told, "In hoc signo vinces" ("By this sign, you will conquer". He did). Catholic and Orthodox priests still wear the labarum on their vestments, and I think some Protestant denominations do as well. The use of Xmas as a shortened term for Christmas goes back at least to the late Middle Ages, so it is not something some bean-counter in Accounting came up with to save a few cents on ad copy.

And I agree, that is a very good son.

You'll rarely hear a subject rave about a
picture that highlights her pores, wrinkles, and blemishes.
Season games are the closest you'll get to playing what you would consider
a real game of Madden. Keeping them on the payroll
ensured that they would not become repeat offenders, but also that they would
help fight the type of crime they once committed.

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my
apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she
has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
