Years ago, my son asked for a complete stereo system for Christmas. Wanting to beat the rush, I went shopping and bought all of the components he wanted, wrapped them and hid them, just waiting for Christmas morning. About a week before Christmas he asked if I had purchased the equipment he had requested and I stood there and lied that I had not had time to shop for all of that stuff. The look of worry on his face immediately went to relief and he announced that he now wanted an electric guitar.
There was only one thing to do at this point. Unwrap all of those boxes, return the equipment to the store and set out to find the guitar and amp that he described. Oh the Joys of Christmas and the wonderful memories that come with it.
I still remember that Christmas. And the guitar. Thanks for making it special for me.
