I have read that laughter is linked to playfulness, and that play is any activity that tends to produce the experience of having fun or the emotion of joy. It doesn't mean you have to be childish - that's different than being childlike. There is something to learn from children- they laugh approximately 400 times a day, while adults laugh about 15 times a day.

We had all had those holidays which stand out in our memories. It may be a fabulous memory which makes us all warm and fuzzy inside, to be compared to every future memory and be measured by it. We all have those holiday memories we'd like to forget---like the year both my Mom and my Aunt felt they had to be the one cooking the turkey and my Mom's turkey imploded. (Seriously...it became a heap of bones and the meat sort of disintegrated)
As children we had ideas about sugar plums just as much as we anticipated the tooth fairy...probably more. Later in life as we married and somehow combined families, and our family traditions changed. We created new memories together. We have had that gift we thought was going to rock someone's world which turned out to be as exciting as a flat tire.
There are those of us that prayed, pleaded, and made deals with God (or whoever else was listening) to just this one time....get that one thing or to be able to give that one great thing which would change our relationship with someone.
Of course there are also those times when we all thought "What the heck was this person thinking" when we opened a gift which astounded us. An example of this was someone close to me, her mother-in-law gave her a retractable clothesline one year, a sink hair strainer the next, and it just went even further down hill after that. (I am not kidding) And yes, we try to remember holiday seasons are about giving, not receiving....but still "What the heck!"

Those assembled roared with delight, as Arthas knew they would. Arthas bowed at Jaina, then leaned in and whispered, “Give them a show—they’ll love it.”Jaina nodded imperceptibly, then turned to the crowd and waved. Their cheering increased.

I recently visited my husband at work and walked in on a bad situation with another woman. I heard low, husky laughter the pause...this continued until I heard a loud smacking noise and then heard him " moan ". I was in the hallway just a short distance from his office. When I walked in ( they heard me coming, I heard them say so) her back was to him and he was seated in his office chair. He had an erection. His shirt was up to his navel. He yelled at me in front of this other woman and told me I was crazy. Later, he tells me they were just "flirting" and he had an erection because she had on a low top blouse. I may be naive, but seriously. Can a man get an erection just from looking at someone??? He is middle-aged so I am thinking no. A few years ago, I found pictures a girl he worked with (she was no older than 21) in our e-mail. She was naked. There were several of them. Also, other e-mail minus the naked pics. Money was missing along with him going to "the store". I found out later they shared the same off days. He says he didn't cheat then either.
My opinion is that he is a lousy liar. I have caught him in way 2 many lies. ANY ADVICE????? Both these girls have harrassed me repeatedly. Esp. the girl that sent him the pics. She would call and even came by my house demanding to "talk" to him. She even prank called me several times. Very childish girls that he picks. What hurts the most, is that they were not even attractive. One of them literally has the face of a man. He would talk down about me to them and to others at work. We have 3 kids and a home and this is so hard to deal with. I feel I am married to a monster. How could someone who loves me do this to me??? I have found porno sites on my computer that he blamed our son for. He has also looked at classified ads on porn sites...out of "curiosity" he says. Counseling doesn't help because he doesn't think he has a problem....
