Christmas arrived.  Barrow was excited to get a Magnum 44 play gun.  He just graduated from New Mexico Hunter's Safety.  On Christmas Eve we saw Rise of the Guardians, went to church, and enjoyed some posole at the Pollard's home.  Barrow came home and wrote a letter to Santa, listing all of the gifts he would like for Christmas. On Christmas day, he said he was a little disappointed that Santa did not bring him and "M" rated game.  We told him Santa was probably waiting until he turned 18!
