The Banker..............................


......................tells the tale of his family's "spiritual Christmas."  If you are tired of the over-commercialization of the season, you might choose to read it.  Wee excerpt:

The only stipulation for the one gift was that it must be primarily home-made. The essence of the gift could not be bought anywhere. ... My brother wrote an emotional letter to my father, comparing him to a high-end bottle of scotch. I know that sounds very WASPy, but believe me, it was awesome. He said all the things you’d typically hear in a eulogy, but my Dad was able to hear it. A distinct advantage, by the way.
