As I sit here on Christmas Eve, the anticipation begins to build. No matter if you are young or old, everyone stops for a moment on this Christmas eve, as the old familiar carols play, and will think of their hopes and dreams, presents and sweets, and family and friends.

I have been to Las Vegas a couple of times now, both times were stopovers on my way to California and the Grand Canyon.
