If the world hasn’t already ended and you’re reading this article, I’d like to share with you one of my favorite Christmas traditions, one celebrated a few days earlier this year. Allow me to explain:

The Rev loves the Holiday Season and smokes a lot of cigars with friends, family, acquaintances and total strangers at Christmas parties, Chanukah parties, Kwanza parties, or any other kind of party I can get myself invited to. During the Holidays I also celebrate my own Christmas tradition that unlike all of my other cigar smoking experiences, I enjoy all alone.

My twins were born on December 21, 1999 and the world was fraught with fear and loathing about the Y2K computer glitch that was going to end the world as planes fell from the sky, nuclear missiles shot off, etc., because all of our incredibly smart computers couldn�t count to 2000. Since the world was going to end, I figured I better make this a great Christmas for my newborn boys since it would be their only chance to get presents from Santa before Armageddon struck.
