Christmas Is For Them
By J.W. Nicklaus                                                              
                                             
I received an e-mail from my brother today. He had been going 
through some old photos (actual photos!) and scanning them. He 
came across a few which were taken when my son was 
two-years-old. So naturally I thought “Why not show him off.”
 

 
Everyone, certainly when he was this age, and even to this day, 
comments on his eyes: the OB/GYN declared he would be a “lady 
killer”; complete strangers have gawked at his peepers; 
waitresses will still look at him and become almost effusive—
”You have the most beautiful eyes” they’ll coo.
 

  
As most kids like to do, he seemed to especially enjoy sitting 
behind the wheel, didn’t matter what car. Now he does it for 
real. Where the hell did sixteen-plus years go?
 
The impetus for this quick post wasn’t to show off old pictures 
as much as to share, perhaps, what struck me as the blossoming 
o the Christmas spirit from its most ephemeral to its most 
humanly tangible. Christmas, as we know and celebrate it (in its often ugliest capitalist form) is a uniquely American holiday. 
The real joy for we adults, I dare say, is watching the 
unfettered delight and bacchanalistic rapture of children as 
they steep themselves in all the trappings of an American 
Christmas morning (or Christmas Eve, for those who celebrate 
it the night before).
            
All the well wishes exchanged during the holiday season 
can’t come close to touching us like the elation and 
unbridled joy, or the heartfelt smiles fixed upon the 
tiny faces of our children . . . and forever in our hearts.
 
Merry Christmas everyone, and my best wishes for a 
healthy and prosperous new year!

About the Author:
J.W. Nicklaus attests to living somewhere between the city closest to the Sun and upon the precipice of Hell—but the 
winters are mild in Arizona. An avid reader and peerless
amateur philosopher, he is “DNA and energy. I am cellular and soulful. I am shadow and light. I am carbon and water . . . 
and I am stardust. As are we all.” His singular ambition is simple: to leave the world a slightly better place than when 
he came into it.
J.W. latest book is the fiction drama novella, 
The Apocalypse of Hagren Roose.

About the Book:

Once a small-town success and happy family man, Hagren Roose finds his slide backwards at once abrupt and wrenching. His small-town mentality sets him on a journey of his own making, 
of which he has no control—and only he can atone for.
