With so much division in the nation's capital - and on the pages of DKos these days - I thought it might be nice to have a gentle reminder of the spirit of the season. See below.
Earlier today Mrs. Obama, Sasha and Malia (and Bo) spent some time with the children at the Children's National Medical Center. While they were there, they read stories and answered questions from the young patients. I just saw video of the event that I had been hoping to see, and it was a lovely lift for a winter evening.
The girls are so good-natured and well-behaved. They shared one of their favorite stories about where snowmen go at a night - a new story to me, but utterly charming. Every time I see those two girls, they remind me of the importance and the value of good parenting.
Bo was his usual irrepresible self, even going so far as to chase Santa off the stage (not literally... but close). Enjoy the video courtesy of the folks at Politico!
As Mrs. O. said, quoting the famous story, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
