Happy Holidays to you and your family and may your wife have a wonderful birthday. Still, I suspect the just announced Colorado Supreme Court ruling might spur a little more writing than you intended.

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Cillizza!

As someone who has a birthday in mid-November and feels a little shafted, I always wonder what it's like for someone born that close to Christmas.

Her parents should just lie and say she was born in April.

My grandmother was born on Christmas Eve. I think she just embraced it, because she was that kind of person, but I remember my mother always making a point of us taking her a BIRTHDAY present that morning.

That's sweet.

Growing up, I wouldn't get everything I wanted for my birthday because my parents could just punt it to Hanukkah and Christmas.

Focus on family. That's good. You (and they) deserve it.

I do hope, though, you'll weigh in on the decision just out of Colorado. :)

Totally know where your dad was coming from Chris! When my wife and I were first married the only “extra money” I had was the Christmas bonus that we got ON DEC 24th! So that was my excuse! Happy Birthday to your wife and I hope you and your family have a great holiday season.

Loved the video! But what, Santa isn't real?

Happy holidays!

Chris is very confused about THAT little fact. I have met Santa and know that he really prefers a turkey biscuit with mustard and a cup of eggnog when he stops by.

You have to get that done. The wife's birthday has to be special. Take your time.

Chris - you could always lighten your gift load by combining your wife's birthday present with her Christmas present. But don't do that. My birthday is December 23 and I feel for your wife "Aw, well your were ALMOST a Christmas baby!" Steamrolled by Christmas every year. A day so bad for birthday that they even wrote a song about it.
