I would agree with you, time does seem to fly now that we are older. Especially during this time of the year. It is also a happy and sad time of year for us, as it seems we have lost a handful of close family members over the years during this time of the year. So it often brings back sad memories too. We try not to let that bring us down though (the wife and I) and keep up a good spirit for the kids and all.
The Grinch! Love me some Grinch. I would have to choose the old cartoon over Jim Carey, although I did like his version as well. We usually watch a boat load of Christmas shows around this time, but haven't as many thi syear yet.
