I'm glad everyone got the real spirit of christmas and the beauty of the holidays that I was going for. In my house we tend to stay away from the commercialization of it so whenever I see people stressing over 'what to buy' I just don't "get it" (so to speak) so I tried to portray my view of things in this story with Pete as my conduit. :)
