Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall.

If your children object to being tied, threaten to take them to see Santa Claus; that ought to shut them up.
